1 of 11

PCSO Paul Ferris speaks to two youths he has stopped after seeing them out and about after 9pm during his patrol of the streets on the Close Hill estate, that has introduced a voluntary night curfew for all under 16-year-olds, on July 25, 2008 in Redruth, England. The brainchild of community police officer PC Marc Griffin, Operation Goodnight in Redruth, Cornwall, will see officers given the power to remove any youth under 16 seen on the streets after 9pm and any child under 10 after 8pm. It has been introduced to coincide with the start of the summer holidays and aims to cut down anti-social behaviour and will be the first to punish parents for letting their children out alone at night.
