QUESTION OF THE DAY: Should Columbia consider a curfew to reduce youth violence?
The talk hasn't progressed to the point of action, but Boone County's top prosecutor told ABC 17 News this week that officials have discussed imposing curfews as one way to curb youth violence.
“We've been talking with some people in the community about the possibility of having a curfew, and especially in some areas where there are high levels of trouble. But that's an ongoing conversation,” Boone County Prosecutor Roger Johnson said.
The jury is out on the effectiveness of curfews, but they have their supporters. St. Louis police have employed the tactic.
