does imposing curfew helps curb social ills?!!?

No. It sure elevates dealing with the problem that come about. Enforcement is an issue. Drinking and driving, pregnancies, etc. are hard to deal with for most families and financially burdensome.

It would be terrible for my emotional well-being, and would then affect physical health because of sleep deprivation. I'd answer this question yes ... cover your windows.

make this world more better to live and no crime against women happen. Everywhere there is peace and people live happily. Women have no fear from going outside and there is always a safer place to move. Girls and women conditions will be better... no crime against girls and women..

Unfortunately the city does not post their municipal code online. Contact the city hall or your local police department's non-emergency number.\n\nThe other person is quite incorrect - curfews are definitely legal. Minors do not have the same legal rights afforded adults.

No.\nDonating blood is a social good and the activity makes people understand the nature of social goods.

What perspective are you speaking from? A government curfew or a parental curfew? \n\nGovernment curfew -- completely unnecessary. It is not hte govts job to raise children OR tell us, law-abiding citizens when we can and cannot leave the house (except in VERY VERY rare circumstances such as war or natural disaster). \n\nParental curfew -- completely necessary. Teaches boundaries and limits as well as consequences for breaking both. Teens need to be inside, in bed at a reasonable hour in order to get homework done and be fully prepared for school and activities the next day. Any parent that does not impose a curfew should not be a parent.

Wow, where do you live?  Hehe.  Um, I don't know what you can tell your kids other than you really think they should find alternatives to hanging out in dark, secluded areas.  You should know that if they are old enough to go out and do things like that, that if you forbid them to do something, if they have a rebellious nature, they may do what they want - against your wishes and better judgement.  \n\nMaybe instead of trying to preach to them you could provide them with an alternative like your driveway, or backyard to hang out in and do whatever it is that they're doing in these spooky places.  It's never too late to teach your kids about entertaining people in the home.  That's something we don't do enough of in our culture anymore, as far as I'm concerned.  (That isn't to say bad things couldn't happen in the home either, but at least then they would be in a more controlled environment, and you [if you were there] could see who was coming and going...)\n\nOther than that, I don't know what else to tell you other than maybe to give them a curfew which doesn't permit these types of activities.  \n\nGood luck.

There is not a state wide curfew law.  Check your local ordinances,  you can find them at city hall.

Naw, it's just something for people to get exercised about and vent frustration.  It's not going to have any significant effect on any real problems.  It might slow the economy down somewhat, and fruits and vegetables would get a lot more expensive, and things like that.  But it's foolish to think it will fix much of anything.

i say we put on a harsher punishment system such as singapore. its proven it works, and if you know your not sopossed to do something, it would make you think twice before doing it.

I think this is a good idea, might even do something to lower crime rates....added bonus

There is no state law that I know of, at least not one that is enforced. Municipalities may have a curfew law; you would need to check each town individually.

It is the only social event they have?  I've seen what you are talking about, and it is sooooooo aggravating to have to dodge mobs of children that are just playing in the aisles.  If you go after midnight, there are less of them out and you can get your shopping done peacefully.

how about this one: my town just had a vote for implementing a curfew. it was rejected, and for good reason: it wouldn't have worked. a city of 30 thousand with only 6 police officers on duty at once. now if we had more cops........well there you go, that's my suggestion.

Violence isn't a disease, and there isn't any more violence today than in ancient times. You just see & hear about it because of the modern media. Notice how it will all go away if you turn off the news!

I have witnessed a few things in Social Housing, one such being the roof space of one rented house being boarded out and twenty matresses laid out.\n\nPeople were sleeping on them during the day, which presumably means an equal number of others slept there at night.\n\nNot a bad bit of sub-letting.\n\nThe Occupants were I am told carrying out the lowest of work tasks at hunger rates.\n\nLooked like slavery to me.\n\nIt was duly reported by me, and absolutely nothing done about it.\n\nRackman lives and thrives.

Night curfew?It will be counter productive.Parents should set a very good example.They should freely and frankly discuss all private affairs.They should encourage friends` visits during day time,and talk to those friends also like parent figures.
