There are many persons who believe that the problem of child labor cannot be dealt with effectively by implementing laws in this regard. According to these persons, the issue of child labor has social and economic aspects and therefore, the law alone cannot deal with this issue. On the other hand, it is believed by many that the effective enforcement of laws prohibiting child labor can be the answer to this problem. According to these persons:-

1. A duty has been imposed on the governments by the international conventions according to which they are bound to protect and uphold the dignity of human beings. For this purpose, it is very important that all the human beings are independent. This independence can be achieved by good education, sufficient income and a good quality of life. However, when the children are engaged in child labor, they lose their creativity as well as the innocence associated with youth.

The question is generally asked if imposing stricter punishments for the child offenders can be treated as an answer to juvenile crime.

1. There is no doubt that strict punishment should be given to the child offenders if they have ruined the lives of another child and curtailed a budding life. In such circumstances, it is only fair that similar treatment should be given to the offenders even if they are juvenile persons. Such strict punishment will help in making sure that they do not commit the same offense again and in this way the lives of several other children will be saved. In case, strict punishment is not prescribed for the child offenders, they may be lured to do the same crime again and again without the fear of any strict punishment.

While there are many persons who believe that night curfew should be imposed on the young people, there are many who believe that imposing such a curfew is the violation of the rights of these persons. However the points that are given in favor of imposing curfew include:-

1. Crime among the youth has become a very major problem. Generally, the issues of drug abuse and violence are also included in it. These gangs of youths create havoc in the cities and criminal behavior becomes very common. Therefore, it is advisable to impose curfew on the young people to deal with these issues.

Therefore, it can be recommended that night curfew should be imposed on the young people, keeping in view the rising crime in the cities.

Points in favor of censorship of art:
