What is Curfew?
But in the eyes of our law, curfew is not just a simple rule that will result to us being
grounded if we do not comply or just simply ignore. Curfew is an order or law that
requires people to be indoors after a certain time at night when such an order or law is in
law, regulation, or ordinance that forbids particular people or particular classes of people
from being outdoors in public places or certain specified times of the day. But for some
of us, curfew is just a simple house rule teaching us how to be disciplined, responsible
Types of Curfew

for minors only. But that is not the only meaning behind that word. There are many types
Juvenile curfew laws are typically enacted at the state and local level, and prohibit
people of a certain age range (usually under 18) from being in public or in business
establishment during certain hours (such as between 11:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m.). Goals
behind these laws are frequently cited as maintenance of social order, and prevention of
juvenile crime.
Almost all juvenile curfew laws identify exempted activities or exceptions under
which juveniles may lawfully be out after curfew. These exceptions will vary by

Some cities have enacted business curfew laws that require businesses in densely-
populated and/or high-crime areas to close during late-night hours, from 11:00 p.m. to
5:00a.m. Typically, businesses curfews do not apply to late-night pharmacies and bars,
but are applicable to restaurants, liquor stores, and other establishments where people

Theoretical Framework
This study will make us of James Jerome Gibson’s affordance theory. This is a
psychological theory which discusses about the perception of the environment that
inevitably leads to some course of action. It states that the world is perceived not only in
terms of objects, shapes and spatial relationships but also in terms of object possibilities
recognize them, but always in relation to agents and therefore dependent on their
object or an environment that affords the opportunity for that organism to perform an
action. As a relation it exhibits the possibility of some action. As what James J. Gibson
(1979) said, the affordances of the environment are what if offers the animal, what it
naturally in the environment and are instantly perceived by the viewer requiring no
sensory processing.

This study relates to James Gibson’s affordance Theory. It discusses about the
perception of the environment about a certain problem that needs some action. It is
