The purpose of the present study is to determine the impact of juvenile curfews on the criminal activities of young adults. Using individual-level data from the National Longitudinal Survey Youth - Geocode (NLSY) data set and estimating an economic model of crime for young adults, the present study finds that curfews have no statistically-significant effect on youth-related criminal behavior.
