Of 149 large cities surveyed, 72 were found to have nighttime curfew ordinances applying to teenagers of various ages. The typical city curfew identified starts at midnight, ends at 5 A.M., and affects all activity of teenagers ages 13-17 in a public place and unaccompanied by a parent. In comparisons of 47 cities with curfews covering 13- to 17-year-olds and 77 cities without curfews, curfews were associated with a 23% reduction in fatal injury for 13- to 17-year-olds for the 9 P.M.-5:59 A.M. time period. This is identical to the 23% reduction estimated for both fatal and nonfatal motor vehicle injuries for 13- to 17-year-olds in an earlier, more limited study of curfews in Detroit, Cleveland, and Columbus, Ohio.
在接受调查的149个大城市中，发现有72个城市制定了适用于不同年龄段青少年的宵禁条例。典型的城市宵禁时间从午夜开始，到凌晨5点结束，影响13至17岁青少年在公共场所且无家长陪同下的所有活动。在对47个设有覆盖13至17岁青少年宵禁条例的城市和77个没有宵禁条例的城市进行比较时，宵禁使13至17岁青少年在晚上9点至凌晨5点59分期间的致命伤害减少了23%。这与早期在俄亥俄州底特律、克利夫兰和哥伦布进行的一项关于宵禁的更有限研究中，13至17岁青少年致命和非致命机动车伤害估计减少23%的情况相同。
