Topic: Curfews
Question: Should cities impose a teen curfew law?
Prompt: You will organize an argument in favor of teen curfew laws.

(A curfew is a regulation requiring a person to be home at a certain prescribed time, as imposed by a parent on a child.)

Evidence 1

Positive Effects of Teen Curfew Laws

Three months after introducing curfew laws, the Dallas Police Department conducted a study to determine whether curfew laws decreased teen violence. The department found that juvenile crime during curfew hours dropped by 17.7 percent. Also, arrests during curfew hours decreased by 14.6 percent. These initial findings show that curfew laws have reduced juvenile crime and victimization.

Evidence 2

Positive Effects of Teen Curfew Laws

The developing brain of a teenager needs between nine and ten hours of sleep every night. Regularly not getting enough sleep (chronic sleep deprivation) reduces success in school. Sleep deprivation can increase emotional problems such as depression. It is suggested that teenagers avoid going out late and that they establish a regular, early bedtime. Curfew laws would force teens to come home earlier and get the sleep they need.

For my own part a vivid dream has come to my help, and I see, almost as plainly as though I had seen it in actual fact, a blue-lit shadowy disheveled Cavor struggling in the grip of these insect Selenites, struggling ever more desperately and hopelessly as they press upon him, shouting, expostulating, perhaps even at last fighting, and being forced backwards step by step out of all speech or sign of his fellows, for evermore into the Unknown—into the dark, into that silence that has no end….

Can someone edit this. It is supposed to be like 2 paragraphs and about the nullification crisis

As of right now, according to Oregon’s Law ‘...anyone under the age of 16 operating an ATV on public lands is to be supervised by an adult over the age of 18…Youth under the age of 16 are required to have on-line safety training and hands-on rider training.’ While Federal laws state ‘...to be at least 12 years of age to operate an ATV on state land.’
When you look at the rates, it shows the only ⅓ of the fatalities are riders who are 16 and under. That leaves the other ⅔ to be LEGAL adults. Meaning in places like Oregon who have less riders than states such as Idaho should minimize the legal age down to at least 14. That way both sides would still get what they want. Oregon will have the age higher than Federal laws and Federal will have it lower than what Oregon wants it to be.
I do believe that they should nullify this law because quite a bit of Oregon doesn’t ride so the fatality rate would stay down. I am bringing up the fatalities because that is the only reason that Oregon's Law still is to be 16 and older. It would be a little different if the ⅔ was younger riders. I do believe that states should be able nullify certain laws. Many laws vary depending on the person. But people vary from state to state. So each state is different and needs different laws.
