I'd wager that most people's ethics are more malleable than that. Also, don't underestimate the power of the golden handcuffs.

Having a spouse, kids, and a nice house in a nice neighbourhood makes any kind of anti-social behaviour that much harder to justify from a purely pragmatic, never mind ethical point of view.

I.e. young men often have nothing much to lose and act accordingly.
