US EditionFrench cities impose curfews for teens to curb crime
FRANCE, JUL 31 – French cities impose teen curfews aiming to reduce youth crime, with 6% of offenses linked to minors aged 13 to 17, officials said this summer.
- Several French cities introduced curfews this summer for teenagers under 18 to curb youth violence in places like Triel-sur-Seine and Nimes.
- Authorities imposed curfews following incidents of public property damage, theft, and urban violence linked to drug trafficking, reflecting concern over youth crime.
- The curfews vary by location, such as an 11 pm to 5 am ban in Triel-sur-Seine, where police stopped minors violating curfew despite some teens being unaware of the ban.
- Officials reported around 40 curfew violations this summer and noted that challenges like delayed fines and repeat offenses persist, while mayors and experts debate their effectiveness.
- The curfews have led to quieter streets and increased parental vigilance, though human rights advocates call for educational measures, stating bans are not an effective response.
