It's simple really. The best way to punish someone is to take away their toys or their privileges. In countries where the people don't have a lot of either, they are not afraid of losing anything. In most Western countries, people have a lot more at stake or at least they believe that they do based on the value systems that we are taught. It's not really surprising that persuasion is a much better tool for control than force. Our leaders are just fortunate enough to be able to afford it.
