(The paragraph)
3 For several years, San Francisco strictly enforced its curfew and arrested more than a thousand teens over a three-year period. However, when the city stopped enforcing the curfew, there was no rise in crime. In fact, the crime rate in San Francisco went down. Neighboring San Jose did just the opposite: it began to enforce its curfew after years of having such a law on the books but, essentially, ignoring it. In San Jose, there was no drop in crime to go along with the intensified curfew enforcement.
