Many people believe there should be a curfew law so that people under the age of 18 are not out past midnight. To what extent do you agree or disagree.
The debate surrounding curfew laws for minors is a complex and nuanced topic as they still require adult supervision. Despite the obvious appeal of implementing the law, there are some factors that need to be considered.
This
essay will discuss the arguments in favour and against the law, and why I disagree with the implementation.
Linking Words
Firstly
, on the one hand, many people argue that a curfew can ensure the safety of society. Linking Words
For instance
, the less they are on the streets during late-night hours, the less exposure they will get from potential criminal activities, Linking Words
such
as substance abuse, and gang involvement. And Linking Words
therefore
, a restriction may deter or prevent those risky behaviours. Linking Words
Secondly
, supporters assert that limiting their public time may contribute to better academic performance. Linking Words
For example
, the less they spend time outside at night, the more sleep and rest they will get, which can lead to more focus and concentration.
Linking Words
However
, Linking Words
on the other hand
, it can be said, that by restricting them, we are denying their rights as an individual. Linking Words
For instance
, everyone should have the autonomy to make a decision in regard to their leisure activities. Linking Words
Therefore
, by agreeing to the limitation, not only do we not recognise them as a person, but Linking Words
also
subject them to unnecessary rules. Linking Words
Furthermore
, there can Linking Words
also
be a risk of racial profiling, which can contribute to the false criminalisation of certain ethnicity and groups. Linking Words
This
can lead to more problems Linking Words
such
as discrimination and injustice. And for that reason, I believe, Linking Words
this
rule is problematic to apply.
Linking Words
To conclude
, in spite of the benefits, Linking Words
such
as a reduction of night-time crimes and better academic grades for teens, from the proposed restriction, the downfall of doing so cannot be overlooked. By limiting their time, we are denying their freedom of rights. Linking Words
Furthermore
, Linking Words
consequently
, there could be certain characters that are potentially discriminated against, Linking Words
therefore
, applying it would require certain considerations.Linking Words
