Question

in cities - where curfews are often intended to curb teen crime - curfew enforcement has been ineffective or even had a negative impact on communities. most crimes committed by juveniles actually happen around 3:00 p.m., right after school. on non - school days, that time shifts to between 7:00 and 9:00 p.m. the curfew hours in most u.s. cities, usually between 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m., occur at a time of day when juvenile crime is at its lowest. meanwhile, according to data from law enforcement agencies, violent crime rates peak around 10:00 p.m. for perpetrators over the age of eighteen. when law enforcement performs its obligatory curfew sweep, officers are distracted from the more serious violent crimes being committed. select the evidence that the author provides for the following supporting claim: youth curfew enforcement does not effectively reduce urban crime. law enforcement reports separate crime statistics for adult and juvenile offenders. teens who already commit crimes report that they would not be deterred by a curfew. juvenile crime rates are generally highest during the day, not during curfew hours. the frequency of juvenile crime by time of day differs depending on whether its a school day.

Answer:

C. Juvenile crime rates are generally highest during the day, not during curfew hours.
