Citizens of Parktown are worried by the increased frequency of serious crimes committed by local teenagers  In response, the city government has instituted a series of measures designed to keep teenagers at home in the late evening  Even if the measures succeed in keeping teenagers at home, however, they are unlikely to affect the problem that concerns citizens, since most crimes committed by local teenagers take place between 3 p  m  and 6 p
m
The crimes committed by teenagers in the afternoon are mostly small thefts and inconsequential vandalism.
