I am not sure, but in previous generations / years, if you committed certain offences , there were police on the beat, everyone knew YOU and it would eventually get back to your parents.

If they had the strap / belt you got it

There were also harsh punishments for crimes.

Not turning this in to an argument on corporal punishment, but there were consequences for some type of behaviour.

These days we get people sticking their middle finger up at authority knowing they can't be touched.

I made a post here pointing to a a report about kids staying in on games / phones, the reply came back saying they may do so as they fear going out, fear crime.
