tl;dr Their legal system isn't an over used state revenue system, so when people are arrested/jailed, it is deeply embarrassing and shameful. They also have strong family and local community social structure, which help people feel connected, de-incentivizing doing bad things, for fear of being shunned/disliked by community peers. This strong family and community structure also acts as a strong support structure for mental health and personal crisis.
