Curfew Enforcement Good or Bad Idea...You Decide

In response to the latest violent attacks on the public involving "flash mobs," major cities, namely Philadelphia and Chicago, are considering enforcing curfew laws in effort to control the small yet dangerous epidemic. Many experts feel that enforcing curfews on minors will keep down the relatively small increase in the youth violence. There is much anxiety over gang violence and possibility of it increasing. There is no real evidence that shows the effects of curfew curtailing violence amongst the youth in any major city. Whether or not public safety will once again be able to rest due to this new enforcement on curfews is yet to be determined.
