The curfew as a means to control youth movement during peak crime


periods is a hotly contended issue in the academic, police and civil liberty
communities. Despite concerns about the efficiency and application of such
ordinance, advocates believe these measures are effective and appropriate
methods for communities to control delinquent behaviour. This research intended
to determine the impact of curfew ordinance implemented at Poblacion,
Batangas City in peace and order, morale values, family relations and incidence
of crime. In addition, this research also intended to determine the difference on
the implementation of such based on community profile and its perceived
impacts. The study involved 186 residents from the chosen community and
made use of the descriptive method in determining the impact of curfew system
in Batangas City.

In the vast majority cases, the study found out that curfew has a positive
impact to lessen the incidence of crime, and improve the peace and order;
however it appeared that there seems to have challenges as to its impact in
family relations and morale values. The study proposed strategies to enhance
the implementation of the curfew system in Batangas City.
