... the BIG DEBATE: Should we force teenagers to stay at home after 9.00 pm?

A curfew is an order that says that young people must return home and stay inside the house by a specific time, usually in the evening or at night.

I think that curfews for teenagers are a great idea. Young people should be at home by 9.00 pm and not on the streets. I think the government should introduce curfews in all towns and cities for teenagers under the age of 14.

I believe that curfews violate a teenager's rights. 9.00 pm is too early to be at home. What's wrong with spending time with friends on the streets?

Operation Goodnight

Redruth is a small town in Cornwall, England. Recently, the town became famous for introducing a curfew. When the neighbours complained about teenagers drinking, shouting and fighting, the police decided it was time to do something. The curfew – called Operation Goodnight – is voluntary but, so far, it has been effective. The police are asking parents to make sure that children under ten are at home by 8.00 pm and teenagers under 16 are at home by 9.00 pm. Police officers in Barry, South Wales are introducing a similar curfew in their town. They want to reduce anti-social behaviour during the school holidays. They are asking parents to insist that 16-year-olds are at home by 9.00 pm. Some neighbours say a voluntary curfew won't make any difference, but others want to give the scheme an opportunity.

... БОЛЬШИЕ ДЕБАТЫ: Должны ли мы заставлять подростков оставаться дома после 21:00?

Ответ:

I think forcing teenagers to stay at home after 9.00 pm is not a good idea. While some people believe it keeps teenagers safe and reduces anti-social behavior, like the person who thinks curfews are a great idea for those under 14, others argue that it violates our rights and 9.00 pm is too early to be home. It's important for teenagers to have time with friends, and maybe voluntary curfews, like 'Operation Goodnight' mentioned in the text, are a better solution than forcing everyone.

Я думаю, что заставлять подростков оставаться дома после 21:00 — не очень хорошая идея. Хотя некоторые люди считают, что это помогает обеспечить безопасность подростков и уменьшить антиобщественное поведение, как, например, человек, который считает комендантский час отличной идеей для подростков младше 14 лет, другие утверждают, что это нарушает наши права, и 21:00 слишком рано, чтобы быть дома. Важно, чтобы у подростков было время с друзьями, и, возможно, добровольные комендантские часы, такие как «Операция Спокойной ночи», упомянутая в тексте, являются лучшим решением, чем принуждение всех.
