Is USA so violent now that they need curfew?

At least 500 US cities have curfews on teenage youth, including 78 of the 92 cities with a population greater than 180,000. In most of these cities, curfews prohibit children under 18 from being on the streets after 11:00 pm during the week and after midnight on weekends. About 100 cities also have daytime curfews to keep children off the streets during school hours. The curfews are designed to prevent crime, increase parental responsibility for their children, and give police greater ability to stop people involved in suspicious activity.

a lot of curfews are just left over puritanical ideas to keep teenagers in control
definitely applies to some cities though

>left over puritanical ideas
What do you mean exactly?

Is that why there's so many american posters?
All of them have to be home by 11

Is this true??
Sounds like something straight out of Judge Dredd

Weve had curfew on under 18s since a bunch of kids died in a disco stampede in the 90s.

Yes, but there aren't put extreme resources from the police to keep them, but they're definitely there.

Well there are 19000 cities in the usa so it's not too much, but I can imagine some cities with a lot of blacks and mexicans being very dangerous (more dangerous than a lot of 3rd world countries) since everyone has guns in the usa.

1 city with this kind of thing is too much.

>teens go out at night
>have sex
>the church doesn't like this
>Jesus is pissed
>Puritans force a curfew so teens can't have sex at night
>in the future, a law is never passed to forbid this so it kinda just stays until someone speaks up
We have a really weird Puritan past with lots of crazies. Circumcision is so commonplace because they wanted to take the fun out of sex. There were even people like Sylvester Graham who made Graham crackers because he believed the blandness of them would lower people's urge for sex.

You can still see a lot of the remnants of our Puritan past today

>Puritan past today
Examples?

We aren't allowed to have any nudity on broadcast television, for example. Violence is considered much more acceptable than sex for public viewing.

I remember my dad bitching at me when I was in Atlanta and I was like 12 and me and my step-bro had done some stuff outside at like midnight. I never thought of it as to take care of crime. But just so kids don't sneak out and get lost. But even still I don't think the law is enforced

Nigger those laws didn't come into effect until the lates 1900s. It's not the Puritans that are the reason.

We had similar shit during Andropov rule. These measres only had short-term wise effects, once they were abolished, we returned to the same level of teen crime.

Niggers.

>b-but guns don't kill people, people do

Cities with a nigger problem like to enact curfews because it makes them look like they're doing something by wasting tax money scooping up niglets every night.

>Nigger those laws didn't come into effect until the lates 1900s. It's not the Puritans that are the reason.

The laws don't have to be directly implemented by puritans to have been influenced by American puritanical sensibilities.

>Violence is considered much more acceptable than sex for public viewing.
Like you wouldn't believe.
I was at a Gamestop around the time that the new WWI Battlefield came out and I overheard a conversation between a cashier and a soccer mom that made my blood boil. Soccer mom had a copy of Battlefield in her hand and she asked the cashier if there was nudity in the game. The cashier said no, but explained that the game was very violent and gory and not appropriate for someone younger. She told him she didn't care. She told him that as long as there wasn't any "sex" in it, it was appropriate. The cashier then asked how old her kid was.
14. Like any teenager hasn't jerked his dick raw to porn by the time they're 14. The cashier tried to convince her but she wasn't having any of it and bought the game anyway.
These are the people who elect your representatives America.

Lmao yeah it really is mind boggling. Parents would rather let their twelve year olds watch ISIS execution videos than suffer them to witness a single bare tit.

that seems like it could very easily backfire
how's the teen pregnancy, abortion rates/movements, and birth control situation there?

>land of the free

The US has the highest rate of teen pregnancy among developed nations, but it's gone down quite a bit recently. Most of the teen pregnancies come from black and latino girls.
