Perhaps Isreali practice- draft women also? They get about a third of the young women trained personal arms use and support. Domestic violence cases after training very low or quickly settled among trained women. French policy is mandatory training and a years service at 18 for men before they can go to college, students usually better behaved- still possible reserve duty and teacher sometimes a reserve officer. This gets about 2/3 rds of young men- some don't do military service, alternates exist and some exemptions for bad health. Continental Europe mostly some sort of conscription, amount of service varies, some exemptions. Swiss militia gets trained and take automatic weapons home with them - about 1/2 the men 21 to 35 reserve , after 35 get civil defense until sometime around 50. Civilian crime rate very low for Swiss, 1/2 murders are 'criminal tourists', makes Handgun Control annoyed- prime example of more guns=less crime. In case of natural disaster have a trained labor force to help out for floods, etc. Could have used something like that in New Orleans. Youngest brother retired couple years back from army- 20 year. Had another brother in Viet Nam '69- 7th calvary, 1st Airmobile. RN
