Data from law enforcement agencies from 21 states and D.C. found that on school days, the highest numbers of juvenile violent crimes occurred at 3 pm, when school usually lets out. In relation to curfew, the data shows "the rate of juvenile violence in the after school period is almost 6 times the rate in the juvenile curfew period." So, after-school programs may prove pivotal in decreasing the number of violent crimes committed by youth.
(We should add juvenile delinquency in our paper, and how PYD may change youth behavior-youth outcomes section?)
