0 M § 5.36.1110 ORONO CODE Public place means any place to which the public or a substantial group of the public has access and includes, but is not limited to, streets, highways, and the common areas of schools, hospitals, apartment houses, office buildings, transport facilities, and shops. Responsible adult means a person 18 years or older specifically authorized by law or by a parent or guardian to have custody and control of a juvenile. Serious bodily injury means bodily injury that creates a substantial risk of death or that causes death, serious permanent disfigurement, or protracted loss of impairment of the function of any body part or organ. (Code 2003, § 70-271) Sec. 5.36.1120. Findings and purpose. (a) In recent years, there has been a significant increase in juvenile victimization and crime. At the same time, the crimes committed by and against juveniles have become more violent. A significant percentage of juvenile crime occurs during curfew hours. (b) Because of their lack of maturity and experience, juveniles are particularly susceptible to becoming victims of older perpetrators. The younger a person is, the more likely he is to be a victim of crime. (c) While parents have the primary responsibil- ity to provide for the safety and welfare of juveniles, the city also has a substantial interest in the safety and welfare of juveniles. Moreover, the city has an interest in preventing juvenile crime, promoting parental supervision, and provid- ing for the well-being of the general public. (d) A city-wide curfew will reduce juvenile victimization and crime and will advance public safety, health, and general welfare. (Code 1984, § 9.14; Code 2003, § 70-272) Sec. 5.36.1130. Penalty.
