A member of parliament proposed a 9.00 pm curfew on all children aged up to 15 - VCE - SSCE Legal Studies - Question 4 - 2003 - Paper 1

One reason the proposed curfew law might be ineffective is that it may not be enforceable. Given the large number of children under 15, it would be challenging for law enforcement to monitor and ensure compliance with the law. Many children may simply ignore the curfew, finding ways to evade authorities, leading to significant difficulties in enforcing the rule effectively. Additionally, parents may not always be aware of their children's whereabouts, further complicating the law's implementation.
