Curfew would offer no solution for Annapolis crime-fighting

With a violent crime rate approaching major-city proportions, Annapolis floated the idea of a youth curfew this week. It’s an extreme measure proposed at a time of extreme concern in the state capital.

Curfews sound like a simple plan with specific goals: Keep kids under 18 or so off the streets at times when youth are mostly likely to commit crimes or be victimized by them.
