Are curfews effective against crime?? [4]

Groups fear mayor's anti-crime bill invades privacy
By Michael Zimmerman

This article comes from a different view. It lets the readers know that many times teens under 18 are not the ones committing the crimes, but yet they are being punished for them. The city is already spending a lot of money on police overtime and cameras in neighborhoods. The mayor thinks it would be a better idea to have some after school programs, more jobs, trade schools for those older kids that do not go to college, mentoring programs and recreation centers for older kids and those that will stay open until curfew.
