Repeal curfew laws.
It is disturbing to think that in a free country laws exist to make being outside a crime, but it happens in the form of curfew laws. The most vulgar of status offenses, curfew laws prohibit youth from being in public during much of the night and day. NYRA has assembled the Internet's most comprehensive guide to youth curfews. Read NYRA's Curfew FAQ, read the expert study that proves curfews have no affect on crime, and take action against curfews in your area. Stay tuned for a listing of all cities and states in the United States that have curfews. If you do any research or writing on the topic of curfews NYRA would love to add it to our collection, so please upload your paper here.
