That’s what happening in Upper Deerfield Township. The Cumberland County, New Jersey community is joining others across the country that are mulling restrictions on who can go door-to-door on the spookiest day of the year. It’s not as radical an approach as what has been decided in Chesapeake, Virginia, for example, where anyone over the age of 12 caught trick-or-treating can be sent to jail for up to six months.
