It helps keep the crime rate down. In most cities you can't be:
-out in a public place
-without a guardian
-past a certain time
So, if you are with a parent or guardian, you are fine
If you are on your property, you're fine
And if it's before the certain time, you're fine

∙ 13y agoMany communities have tried curfews for people under 18. They have been almost impossible to enforce. In almost all cases they were dropped because the city commissions decided their cops had better things to do rather than chase brats through back yards.

Juvenile curfew laws are typically enacted at the state and local level, and prohibit people of a certain age (usually under 18) from being in public or in a business establishment during certain hours (such as between 11:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m.). Goals behind these laws are frequently cited as maintenance of social order, and prevention of juvenile crime.
