A New York City law was enacted in 2006, affecting many aspects of nightlife. This legislation was enacted in response to a number of murders and violent crimes involving nightclubs and bouncers, which occurred in the New York City area. One of the first measures to come about was a 3-point plan proposed by New York City Council Speaker Christine Quinn in her August 8, 2006 memorandum. == Background == In early 2006, a young child, Nixzmary Brown, was murdered. It had occurred within a short time of another murder of a young criminology student. The recollection of Brown's murder was refocused in February after another murder was brought to the New York City public's attention—the brutal torture, rape, and strangulation murder of Imette St. Guillen, a John Jay College graduate student—whose killing and associated lurid details later captured the nation's attention.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Latest in St. Guillen investigation )〕 St. Guillen's murder, related to a bar and a bouncer with a criminal record, would strongly bring the public focus on New York City's nightlife. There were protests against The Falls bar for the bar owner's lying to police followed by initial discussion of nightlife. The June 18 murder of a 16-year-old named Chanel Petro-Nixon, and then the July 25 rape-murder of another student, 19-year-old Jennifer Moore, gave cause to public concern and the publication of an article series, "Wasteland", written by the ''New York Post''. A ''Post'' columnist, Andrea Peyser, speculated that the three murders were connected: Such articles discussed fake I.D. use, alcoholic drinking among underage teenagers, and discussion of New York City nightlife in general. Some of the ''Post'' articles mentioned accounts of gun-shooting violence involving bouncers. One such bouncer, Stephen Sakai, used a gun to kill some club patrons at Opus 22, further bringing the public's focus on nightlife and bouncers. Sakai was later convicted and sentenced to 90 years in prison. In November 2006, Sean Bell, an undercover police officer was shot and killed. These and other incidents were reported as occurring in bars and nightclubs and continued during 2007. In 2009, seventeen-year-old Nyasia Pryear-Yard, an honors student, was shot to death while attending a party at the Elks Plaza Club in Brooklyn. A suspected gang member, who investigators believe may belong to either the Bloods or the Crips, had brought a weapon past security.〔 The family called for stricter safeguards for late-night parties.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nightlife legislation in New York City」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
