Do Youth Curfews Help Curb Crime?

 

Let’’s start with ineffective, the first thing you said.
Several studies across the country have shown that juvenile curfews are ineffective both at reducing crime and at reducing victimization.
*robust 원기 왕성한, 활발한
What do we know about which kids are being detained?
*detain 구금(억류)하다
And here's the deal - none of the seven focus areas are in the most affluent neighborhoods in the District of Columbia.
*affluent 부유한
So we know that white and affluent youth are often out past curfew but are not going to get swept up in this.
We are casting too wide of a net.
And in part, our city officials want to be responsive to their constituents and demonstrate that they are listening and doing something, taking action.
*constituent 주민, 유권자
Our city officials want to be responsive to their constituents.
*truancy [ˈtruːənsi] (학생의) 무단결석
*deploy 배치하다, 효율적으로 사용하다
I'm talking about a continuum of mental health services throughout the city.
*continuum 연속체, 연속성, 지속성
Youth arrests in DC are up from this time last year.
People are suffering from more trauma than ever before in light of the pandemic.

Hundreds of towns, cities and counties across the country impose curfews on young people. 
On September 1st a curfew went into effect in seven neighborhoods across the District of Columbia that will affect those aged 17 and under. 

Like many other cities, the nation's capital has seen an increase in violent crime. And some of the most shocking crimes have been committed by young people.

Teens as young as thirteen as well as pre-teens have been suspected of, or charged with carjacking. In the past couple of months a 14 year-old and a 16 year-old have been charged with murder. And young people are also the victims of violent.

Keeping kids inside at night may seem like a good strategy for cities facing a surge in youth violence. But experts say that research doesn't back up the effectiveness of curfews.
