 D.C. summer curfew for minors is now being enforced by police. As WTOP's Scott Gelman tells us, it's part of a strategy to curb youth violence when school is out. The summer curfew is different than the one that's in effect during other parts of the year. It goes from 12.01 a.m. to 6 a.m. seven days a week. You're under the age of 17 in a public space such as the street or common area of apartment buildings.
