Citizens of parktown are worried by the increased frequency of serious crimes committed by local teenagers. In response, the cit

y government has instituted a series of measures designed to keep teenagers at home in the late evening.

Answer: 2)

Explanation:

If the argument that the children are mostly doing small thefts and inconsequential vandalism is correct it is the one with the most weakness since small thefts and small vandalism is still against the law and it should be punished. It is also bad for citizens and teenagers because the small thefts and vandalism can became bigger and bigger trough the time.
