I like the Ultimate Test! The problem is that there's never a copper around when you need one. Which is why most societies have spent their energies on putting policemen into people's heads, either with religion, peer pressure, or the shadow of the noose. Our society has very little in the way of internal policing, apart from fear of unemployment or a fairly low risk of imprisonment. The old school discipline, arbitrary, brutal and unfair as it was, at least installed a healthy fear of authority, and also drove the sense of grievance that makes for a healthy democracy. Oh, and it has to be done by the time you're 14. A badly behaved 21 year old can be made to behave, but it takes ferocious sanctions and a lot of time. E.g. Erwin James, who did life for murder, is now an impressive writer and a fine human being, but it might have been better if it hadn't cost a human life and decades of imprisonment to get him to that state.
