An Analysis of Curfew Projects in Five Cities
To assist the Camden City Curfew
Project the Senator Walter Rand Institute for Public
Affairs analyzed curfew projects operating in Denver,
Colorado, Jacksonville, Florida, North Little Rock,
Arkansas, New Orleans, Louisiana and Phoenix, Arizona. We
looked at how the programs are funded and staffed,
as well as how they use volunteers, involvement of
service providers, and what type of services are
provided to youth. Findings indicate that
the Camden project is uniquely dependent upon volunteers
and has a relatively broad coalition of partners.
