Curfew regulations have long been a popular strategy to lower juvenile crime, but do they actually work or are they just a band-aid solution? This review of the literature explores whether prohibiting minors from being in public places late at night substantially reduces juvenile criminal behaviour, which is at the core of this inquiry. As communities and policymakers look for ways to balance individual liberties with the protection of youth from delinquency, it is imperative that they comprehend the role curfews play. This study examines the literature from a variety of angles in order to determine the true effect of curfew enforcement on juvenile crime. The importance of this research extends beyond statistics. Juvenile crime has lasting consequences, affecting not just the lives of those directly involved but also the safety and harmony of entire communities. Curfews are still being imposed in many cities and towns, so it's important to assess if these laws actually accomplish anything or if other influences—like family dynamics and social inequality—have more of an impact. This review will provide a nuanced perspective on the successes, difficulties, and controversies surrounding curfew enforcement by analyzing these dynamics in both urban and rural communities. Studying this topic is important in shaping future policies that are not only effective, but also just. This literature review attempts to add to the ongoing conversation about juvenile crime prevention as we explore the complicated terrain of evidence-based curfew laws. Finding out if curfews are effective in lowering juvenile crime or if more extensive measures are required to address the underlying causes of juvenile delinquency is the ultimate objective.
