(City Code, 1976/83, art. 19, §92.) (Ord. 75-1046; Ord. 80-207; Ord. 94-419; Ord. 95-614;
Ord. 03-539; Ord. 06-183.)
§ 34-2. Legislative findings.
The Mayor and City Council find that:
(1) An emergency has been created by a substantial increase in the number and in the
seriousness of crimes committed by minors against persons and property within the City,
and this has created a menace to the preservation of public peace, safety, health, morals,
and welfare.
(2) The increase in juvenile delinquency has been caused in part by the large number of minors
who are permitted to remain in public places and in certain establishments during night hours
without adult supervision, and during daylight hours at times when, by law, they are required
to attend school.
(3) Education is the foundation of success and a productive life. The City of Baltimore provides
the educational system and its staff, but the cooperation of students and their parents
determines the productivity of the educational system. Late evening activity by certain of
our youth prevents them from concentrating in class or, even worse, causes their absence
from class. This, together with truancy, has risen alarmingly in recent years and youth is
thus deprived of a necessary basic education. The rate of absenteeism has risen alarmingly in
recent years while the achievement rate has rapidly decreased. The end result is an increase
in failures and dropouts, frustration, malcontent, antisocial conduct, and, for many, a future
without promise.
(4) The problem of juvenile delinquency can be reduced by regulating the hours during which
minors may remain in public places and in certain establishments without adult supervision,
and by imposing certain duties and responsibilities upon the parents or other adult persons
who have care and custody of minors.
