Don curfew laws protect young people from being victimized by criminals; shouldn youth be glad such laws protect them?
If young people were concerned about violent criminals they would stay inside voluntarily, no law would be needed. This line of reasoning is only correct if applied to all people at risk of being attacked by criminals. Of course all people are at risk of crime, if protecting innocent people from crime were a legitimate concern then all people regardless of age would clamor for, and accept curfews governing their lives. Would a requirement that all U.S. residents be inside by 11 pm free the country of all crime?
