curfew law
Mandated evening deadline
A curfew law is a regulation requiring people—often minors—to be off public streets during specified hours, typically late night through early morning.
Cities may impose curfew laws to reduce juvenile crime or protect young people: The curfew law requires anyone under 18 to be home by 11 p.m.
Curfew laws may also apply to everyone during emergencies or civil unrest.
