Mall curfew
In the United States, many shopping malls have implemented mall curfews or chaperone policies, measures to prevent minors from entering or staying on mall property during curfew times unless they are accompanied by a guardian. Mall curfews have been implemented in shopping malls since the 1980s, and those who implement similar policies often justify them by citing "unruly behavior" reported from unsupervised teenagers.[1] One of the first malls to implement a mall curfew was the Mall of America in 1996, which received opposition from the American Civil Liberties Union due to its infringing on the rights of young people.[2]
Locations with curfew policies will often make exceptions for minors who are working during curfew times.[3]
