In an attempt to reduce the number of violent crimes committed by juveniles, the city of Fiera imposed a curfew requiring juveniles everyone younger than eighteen-to be indoors between the hours of 11 P.M. and 6 A.M. In the two years since the curfew was imposed, the number of violent crimes committed by juveniles in Fiera has fallen by almost ten percent.

It is common to quote David Hume arguing against the possibility of reasoned ethics--for example, his observation that "the rules of morality ... are not conclusions of our reason." Hume's remarks on the relation between reason and ethics are so myriad that it would be presumptuous to seek a definitive clarification of his position. But it is worth noting that immediately preceding the remark just quoted, Hume declares: "Morals excite passions, and produce or prevent actions. Reason of itself is utterly impotent in this particular.” The qualification "of itself" is important to note. This is, in fact, not an argument that reason is unimportant for morality or for motivating action. It argues only that reason cannot accomplish this entirely on its own.
