## Resource

Teen Takeovers — and what to do about them — has become one of the most divisive issues in local Washington. The mayor announced a new curfew; rivals like mayoral candidate Janeese Lewis George oppose them. Georgetown University juvenile-justice scholar Eduardo Ferrer is not one of the folks who’s on the fence about the issue: He thinks curfews are a rotten idea. We talked about how to reach kids, how to avert antisocial behavior, and what Washington should expect as a long hot summer looms. Want some more DC news?
