It will only have the effect of further marginalising an already marginalised minority. Why punish all Alice Springs youth for the actions of a few?
PLEASE divert resources and energy into POSITIVE OUTCOME initiatives that SUPPORT and ENCOURAGE young people, NOT punish them!

A Curfew will also cause a disconnect between police and youth creating a "them and us" mentality that will negate all the hard work of those who work towards genuine inclusion and engagement.

It is a reactionary, draconian, unfeasible and unenforceable policy which will do nothing to address the social issues that cause so many children to be on the streets at night in the first place.

They marginalise and label our youth as being a 'problem' when we should be showing them through word and deed that they are our future. Contact with front line policing should be a last resort and not the first response when it comes to influencing the choices of any demographic within our community, particularly our youth.

The difference for an adult is that we often have legitimate venues and places to gather that are away from the public eye.
