I think a lot of parents, perhaps not very young though, do remember those days. And, IMO many long for them to return.
One factor, IMO that has contributed to the change is the overcriminalizatipn of too many things, the expanse of special recognition of classes of people, and the ballooning of domestic law enforcement agencies and social services agencies.
Ok, I guess that is three or four factors. But, my point is that taken together, many good people cannot act or express expectations of societal behaviors within their communities. Trouble makers and criminals can in some cases work the system in their favor. And, good people have realized they genuinely cannot afford to step up because they risk having it turned around and used against them and receiving a life sentence if carrying a criminal record themselves.
