In some areas of the USA, a ‘curfew’ is imposed, in which teenagers are not allowed to be out of doors after a particular time at night unless they are accompanied by an adult. What is your opinion about this?
It is well known that in some regions of the
USA
, there is a curfew which does not allow teenagers
to go outdoors during the night
if they are not with an adult. Many people
may think that this
measure should be removed, however
, I believe that a curfew should be maintained in order to protect teenagers
from dangers that occur at night
and help police
officers to develop their work
efficiently.
Currently, there is an increasing awareness of teenagers
and their safety, mostly in dangerous areas
that could negatively affect their daily lives. Thanks to this
measure, teenagers
are safe at their homes, reading books, listening to music or doing other leisure activities and being far away from dangers such
as drugs, guns, addictions or gambling that happen at night
. For example
, in some areas
of the USA
, many murders are committed against young people
during the night
at the doors of pubs. However
, thanks to the advent of curfews, crime rates may decrease and teenagers
’ lives may be saved.
Another compelling reason to maintain the curfews is the fact that it helps police
officers to do their work
efficiently during their night
working hours. When there is a conflict area where the police
are required, the existence of young people
in the area could make a difference between the success or failure of the mission. For example
, it has been in the news that young people
have been murdered on many occasions due to
police
persecution. For
this
reason, keeping the streets clear of young people
in some areas
of the USA
is crucial to help police
in their work
against criminals.
To conclude
, I support the existence of a curfew in some areas
of the USA
, because it helps to protect teenagers
from night
dangers and facilitates police
officers doing their work
at night
. Finally
, if governments provide enough resources against criminal organisations, this
measure should not be necessary, as well as
other countries that do not establish this
law.Submitted by carlos.terapiaocupacional on
