Philadelphia Curfew Law Update

Posted by Sade Skelton in American Government - Laufenberg on

​My lobbying topic was Philadelphia Minor Curfew. Since the summer is over and school has resumed the curfew hasn't had the same publicity it had in the summer time. Beings though less kids are out during the school year at unreasonable hours the curfew law isn't pushed as hard as it was in the summer time. Just recently the curfew was just passed as a law and would not only apply to University City & Center City but throughout the entire city.Within the next 2 years the city has to prove the effectiveness of the curfew law to the City's Council. The Mayor agrees that this curfew will not stop the violence in the city but it's a good start towards it. Many of the city's residents disagree to this law says it's just a way to punish the youth.
