The purpose of this chapter is to:
A. Promote the general welfare and protect the general public through
the reduction of juvenile violence and crime within the Borough;
B. Promote the safety and well-being of the Borough's youngest
citizens, persons under the age of 18, whose inexperience renders
them particularly vulnerable to becoming participants in unlawful
activities, particularly unlawful drug activities, and to being victimized
by older perpetrators of crime; and
C. Foster and strengthen parental responsibility for children.
The curfew period in the Borough of Lewistown for minor children
under 18 years of age (hereafter "minors") is the period beginning
at 11:00 p.m. each day and ending at 5:00 a.m. the next day. As a
public accommodation or public service, the Borough may cause a curfew
warning signal (such as a fire whistle, civil defense siren, or the
like) to be sounded at 10:30 p.m.
