It's not about safety really, or the idea, that in theory, a kid could run around at night and still be ok, because they probably can.

But kids out and about consistently, let alone not in bed by 10 pm ... this is not good. Those are extended boundaries allowing kids to get themselves into trouble.

As per my note above - have a drive through a ghetto at night - what you see is kids, and it's spooky.

Who was talking about consistently? I would sometimes be out until 4 in the morning after a party when I was 16, and this law forbids that. I'm talking a few times a year.

Btw I don't think Iceland has ghettos.
