what is CURFEW?

Answer 1

Curfew is enforced by law enforcing authorities at places prone to violence or likely to have violent incidents. It is to prevent violence and damage to innocent people, at the same time forcing violent causing mobs to stay indoors. Hence it is a very effective preventive measure. It just tells you when you should not be outside your home or office. Anyone found in the streets when the curfew is in force is liable to be arested irrespective of his/ her purpose of staying out.

Answer 2

It's the time when the older drunk people are out on the streets so the children must come inside. For anyone under eighteen the curfew is 11:00pm here in California. It use to be midnight but law enforcment changed that.

Answer 3

A curfew is usually set by parents to make sure their children are home by a certain time when they go out with their friends or a boyfriend.. that way the parents know what their children are doing and how long they will be out for... it also sets good boundaries for what children can or can't do...

Answer 4

A curfew can be one of the following:

1. An order by the government for certain persons to return home daily before a certain time. It can either be to maintain public order (such as those after the 2003 North America blackout and 2005 civil unrest in France), or to suppress targeted groups (such as the one Adolf Hitler enacted on Jewish people in Nazi Germany). Curfews have long been directed at certain groups in many cities or states, such as Japanese-American university students on the West Coast during World War II, African-Americans in many towns during the time of Jim Crow laws, or people younger than a certain age (usually within a few years either side of 18) in many towns of the U.S. since the 1980s; see below. Some jurisdictions have also introduced "daytime curfews" that would prevent high school-age youth from visiting public places during school hours or even during immediate after-school hours.

2. An order by the legal guardians of a minor to return home before a specific time, usually in the evening or night. This may apply daily, or is separate per occasion (especially concerning dating), or varies with the day of the week (earlier on a so-called school night, i.e., if the minor has to go to school the next day).

3. A daily requirement for guests to return to their hostel before a specified time, usually in the evening or night. Arriving later has the consequence of being locked out until the morning. It allows the hostel to dispense with a doorman during the night, and improves quietness at night. Another way to dispense with a doorman, without curfew, is supplying a key to each guest, to take with them.

4. In baseball, a time after which a game must end, or play be suspended. For example, in the American League the curfew rule for many years decreed that no inning could begin after 1 A.M. local time.

5. Many airports operate with rules that during certain times, the airport will be effectivly closed, to facilitate noise restrictions in area's under the airports flight paths. Examples include LaGuardia Airport in New York City, and Kingsford Smith International Airport in Sydney, Australia. The practice is commonly known as an Operating Curfew, or Movement Restriction.

The word comes from Anglo-Norman via Middle English, originally an instruction to cover and damp down the fires before retiring, "couvre feu": a very necessary precaution when cities were filled with wooden houses having thatched roofs.

Answer 5

If the law where you live says that all kids need to be in at ten PM
then that is what you call a curfew.

Answer 6

Curfew is when a time constraint has been placed on you. It would mean that the person or persons that have told you to be in by eg. 11 p.m. that would be considered your curfew.

Answer 7

Curfew is imposed on those who, for whatever reasons, need to be controlled for the betterment, safety, and well being of others due to civil unrest.. weather that means your country, or yourself in the interest of your community.
If curfew is at dusk, dawn, 10pm...whatever.
