Curfew has become a popular law among minor and adult, it is the tool for combating the juvenile delinquency.
According to Hemmens and Bennett (1999), Juvenile curfew is a law that is implemented by the local ordinance prohibiting minors to avoid crime, generally within a particular range of age, from absorbing particular street and areas during the particular times. This law is not that new for all the countries in the world. The first Youth Curfew was started in Omaha, Ne, 1880.
The additional reprimand came from President Harrison gave a speech implementing the curfew law among children. ‘‘the most important municipal regulation for the protection of the children of American homes, from the vices of the street’’. By 1957, 57 of the 109 cities with 1950 population over 100,000 reported having curfews
Curfew law helps our children to avoid crime rate and violence. They all give the parents’ rights to have a respect, discipline in awkward and difficult situation time in teenage lives. It helps the local governments to have peace and order in their country. When teenage crime and victimization are increasing and local ordinance learned to craft the curfew legislation in the manner way to the court. Through this law, it will help all the countries in the world to decrease the violence crime act among children.
According to Estrella Torres (2016) the first complication of President Duterte’s conflict in violence and criminality, the Supreme Court furnishes a temporary
Later School Start Times “‘I’ve gained an hour of sleep,’ she said. ‘I definitely feel a lot better. I find myself waking up around 7:30 without an alarm because it’s a natural time. It’s a great, great feeling.’” Says Lily Grey Rudges, a high school student in Seattle(At these schools, later start times get an A-plus for youths needing more sleep).
Schoolies week is a festival held on the Gold Coast in Surfers Paradise for year 12 students who have just finished school. The schoolies organisation host different events such as the beach party, the glow party and the movie night. There is a large amount of controversy about weather schoolies week should still be going or not. There are a lot of issues involved with schoolies such as underage drinking, drug use, unsafe sex, injury and sometimes death. 1,500 teenagers attending Schoolies on the Gold Coast are surveyed each year by Drug Arm Australia.
Outdated legislation should not be the cause of our country 's future to be at risk, schools should start later in order to mend the growing problem of time management and achievement among students. As the history of the current start times are explained, the illogicality of them present themselves. As one article reported, the early start times originated because, “...adolescent sleep shift weren’t understood, and the cost savings of running the fewest possible buses in three cycles was appealing” (Snider). This simply proves the belief that the current school starting dates are outdated because they were formed hundreds of years ago from schools, who didn 't understand the science of teen health, that wanted to start school save a few pennies from having less buses.
Why School Should Start Later I never want to get up at 6:30, shower, get dressed, and eat breakfast, especially when I’m being rushed while doing that, and I believe other people would agree. School is not bad at all, it’s the thought of getting up early that makes it depressing for most students, especially high schoolers. School should start later because it would be better for student’s health. It would also help with their concentration in classes, which would highly affect their academic performance.
Should this law be changed or stay the same? (#1- Youth Advocacy Centre, 2016) (#2 Kleeman, Adman, Hamper et al, 2013)
Introduction To begin with, a juvenile court is a special trial court that deals with children and adolescents convicted of crimes and most importantly, intervene in delinquent behavior through police court. They are specifically a correctional institution. In brief, it handles cases of delinquent behavior and dependency. There has and is still ongoing debate on the definition of who is a juvenile. However, a juvenile under eighteen years qualifies for juvenile court procedure.
“Many parents in lower income areas work at night most arguments against it talk about how and are not around to correctly supervise their teenage children.” Police have more say in what happens, others say that it will cause the youth to go elsewhere to be able to hang out with their friends. A curfew is about a teenager understanding that, yes, teens can go out and have fun, but there has to be discipline for their bad actions. Our country isn’t sure if they should have curfews for people because most people are good and they don’t break the laws like other people do. In the article America’s curfew debate it says that “curfews violate the fourth amendment and its protections against unreasonable search and seizure.”
The Controversial Idea of School Starting Later An Obvious Issue The issue concerning the best time for schools in the United States to start has been quite a controversial one throughout the years. In the contemporary society, and on average, school going children and teenagers do not like waking up early to prepare to go to school. Often they find it as a major challenge, especially if they stayed up late at night doing schoolwork, engaging in chores, or other activities.
Although, it could lead to alcohol, drugs and gangs, curfews won’t impede teen from getting in trouble. According to the article , it explains that, “Curfews don’t lower teen crime. Curfews don’t teens from getting into trouble. Teens who want to perpetrate a crime won’t let a curfew stop them.” Because not all teens listen, not all teens will accept a curfew.
Many people argue whether school start times should stay the same or become later in the day. Most students already don't get enough sleep during the night and that can affect their learning experience in school (Wahlstrom). However some positive effects can still come from waking up early in the morning and getting to school around the same time. Although good can come from waking up early in the morning and sleeping in, students still need later school starting times to improve their overall health.
School safety is a very controversial topic in the U.S. There are many cases of people questioning the safety of schools. Recent school shootings raised concerns over school safety. While this has received a lot of attention, other things such as drugs, ara problem in schools. Even teachers have spoken out about the lack of safety of their schools.
Juveniles Justice Juveniles who are criminals being sentenced to life without parole can be shocking to some people. I believe if a juvenile is able to commit a crime, then they are able to do the time. The article “Startling finds on Teenage Brains” talks about how the brain can be different from the time you are teens to the time you are an adult. After, considering both sides on juvenile justice it is clear that juveniles should face life without parole because they did the crime so they can do the time. Also I believe the juvenile’s age should not influence the sentence and the punishment give.
Juvenile Justice There is a great deal of controversy that exists in America today. The question is whether a juvenile who committed a heinous crime should be punished to the same extent as an adult. The growing trend in the United States is to “get tough” on juveniles who commit these crimes. This has resulted in a growing number of minors who trial as adults, and being sent to adult prisons. Many believe if that an adult crime is committed, then you should face consequences appropriate for adults, but what exactly is the appropriate age to be considered an adult?
After school, from 3 to 6 p.m, is a critical period of time in a child’s life. After school programs help keep kids safe and inspire them to learn during that period of time. After school programs are organized programs that youth can participate in outside of a traditional school day. Enrolling children in after school programs would provide them with benefits that unenrolled children would not receive, such as reduce risky behavior and promote physical health. After school programs provide a safe environment for children, while positively impacting their academics, safety, and their future.
