Probably about the right age group to have kids in between 13 and 25, and also the right demographic to be active voters now, with an MO on blaming society for the crimes of individuals, having a very strong sense of rehabilitation, not punishment, appalled at the ideas of parental responsibility for serious child activity, and having flimsy justice systems to enforce that.

That sounds suspiciously like a longing for the good old days. Problem with the good old days is that they weren't quite so good, and they weren't any better than these days. Probably worse.
I don't think the people you describe above actually exist in reality.
