Daily News | City Council approves a permanent 10 p.m. curfew for Philly’s teens
Philadelphia City Council on Thursday voted to impose a permanent 10 p.m. curfew for young people under the age of 18 in the city.
Philadelphia has had a youth curfew in place for decades. But experts who study the rules have said theyon crime or victimization rates. And while the 10 p.m. curfew put in place over the summer, more children were shot than during any other summer on record, according to police statistics. A handful of exceptions are listed, including for children and teenagers accompanied by adults or guardians, and those who have jobs or are attending school or religious activities. Kids hanging outside on their home’s stoop or sidewalk, or “exercising First Amendment rights” like protesting, are also allowed out past curfew.
As of Aug. 1, police had issued more than 1,300 curfew violators this year. According to a department spokesperson, at least 85% of those kids were taken home or picked up by a family member.
