I think what you are describing is what we used to call "social conditioning". The small, incremental nudges over time to shape behavior, usually in conformance to what we would call a social standard (social mores).
A few problems to this in modern times:
1) Most socialization is not in person anymore so it takes the teeth out of the confrontation. All you've done is put a person on the defensive and then they will go to the place of actual socialization in modern times (the internet) and get validation and re-confirmation via their echo chamber and network. They will re-entrench that THEY were the victim, and some big male patriarchal bully was abusive to them and toxic to them in public!
2) Society isn't a tiny fishbowl anymore with more-or-less a shared moral fabric, so trying to regress someone with outlying (antisocial) behavior to the mean isn't a thing anymore. We are very fragmented now so you can argue that the neighborhoods or demographics share a social norm, which unfortunately, seem to be trending towards the yuppie selfish person with the dog being more the norm than us crotchety old white men. Doesn't matter that we are right in this matter.
