>From the Sept. 18 Economist:
"Curfews sound tough and win votes and please anxious adults. But do they work? Vincent Schiaradli of the Centre on Juvenile and Criminal Justice (CJCJ), a non-profit group in Washington, points out an irony that suggests otherwise. The crime that children are most often arrested for in America, he notes, is curfew violation. In 1996, police reported some 140,000 cases of juvenile curfew arrests, more than double the figure in 1994."
