So the kids in the late 60's were undisciplined, but the kids in the mid 70's-80's were more disciplined, yet the crime rate went up that entire time? Did the kids suddenly become more disciplined in the late 80's to early 90's?
And the helicopter parent argument has been around this entire century, yet there's no spike in apparent delinquency?
