Yeah, the problem is largely cultural. Bizarrely, successful training in conflict resolution is sometimes sabotaged by fathers who tell educators "You aren't teaching my kid that sissy stuff!"
Note, though, that these sorts of impulsive, violent crimes are actually on the decline in the US. They have been since we started getting rid of tetraethyl lead in gasoline in 1975 (with a roughly fifteen year lag). There's still a lot of cultural influence to deal with.
