Question

officers are distracted from the more serious violent crimes being committed by adults at that time. also troubling is the racial disparity surrounding enforcement in cities with curfews. for example, recent data have found that in minneapolis, minnesota, fifty - six percent of youths charged with breaking the citys curfew law were african american. only seventeen percent of those charged with the same offense were white, although minneapolis is a city with a white majority. similarly, in 2010, fifty - nine percent of all curfew arrests in san diego were of hispanic youths, while only sixteen percent were non - hispanic white youths. yet census numbers for that year showed san diegos population to be twenty - nine percent hispanic and forty - five percent non - hispanic. what do the fifth and sixth paragraphs do? the two paragraphs describe different ways that youth curfews negatively affect communities in cities. one paragraph introduces a counterclaim, and the other paragraph addresses that counterclaim. one paragraph introduces a compromise, and the other paragraph supports the compromise with real - world data. the two paragraphs compare and contrast the effects of curfews on urban and suburban youth.
