The US is not a ethnically homogenous society like Norway is. Neither does Norway have a wide spread gang culture like the US has in African American neighbourhoods where even law abiding African Americans that want to have a normal life can't because no one is effectively policing these areas for various reasons.
These people have to put up with living in high crime areas where laws are generally not enforced, most people have no legal jobs and instead criminals and gangs set the rules for everyone.
What makes you believe that what you are doing in your culture is automatically applicable to certain US subcultures?
I can tell you from the experience we had here in Austria and Germany with Arab immigrants that our way of handling such issues does not work at all with them.
While a typical German is afraid of consequences should he get into conflict with the law and will stop and rethink what he is doing an Arab immigrant often wont.
That's because they are used to a much more cruel enforcement of laws, thus they regard our way of punishing them as a mere slap on the wrist and will continue with their behaviour.
You would be amazed if you knew how many of them got convicted 6,7,8 or even more times within the first year of arrival.
Just look at whats going on in neighbouring Sweden at the moment. Does this kind of liberal law enforcement work there?
