PERSPECTIVE 1 CONTINUED...

• Effects city law by making the police look out for kids after dark
• Persuading other places to have a 10:00 P.M curfew
• Crimes committed after dark=amendments come to solve situation

PERSPECTIVE 2

• Curfew later
• Stay out as late as want with responsible adult, stay out of trouble
• No, kids=more likely to get in trouble/cause crime after curfew
• Research: the younger the person, the more likely to be victim of crime
• Not likely to solve problem and it hurts everyone that wanted it later

PERSPECTIVE 2 CONTINUED...

• Solution hasnt been tried anywhere, same in MN
• Affects city law: more secure laws, stores closing earlier
• State law: whole state would have to adjust
• Constitution: crime happens, constitutional amendments

CONCLUSION
