Does your local area have a curfew for minors?



Should there be a curfew for people under 18 years to reduce crime or for other reasons? Why or why not?
 
I had to look up the curfew laws for my state and here's what I found:



There is no statewide curfew. Cities within the state have authority to establish curfew laws for people under 16, but the penalty for each violation may not exceed $5.00.

Child welfare



A municipality may make regulations respecting children under sixteen years of age who are allowed to loiter in the streets or other public places. Such regulations shall be conducive to their welfare and to the public good. Such municipality may fix a penalty of not more than $5.00 for each violation of such regulations to be recovered against the person having the custody of such child in a civil action on this statute.
 
I don't think we have one...

Wouldn't help if we did, it'd probably cost more to enforce...
 
On the weekends, you must have a parent or legal guardian with you at the mall past 6 P.M.

There's no curfew laws where I live, but the police have the power to break up groups bigger than 5 people.
