If the White Fang is as violent as a lot of fans seem to believe, just indiscriminately slaughtering people who oppose them, attacking schools, killing faunus who decide to get out or disagree, why the fuck hasn't the government hunted them down? I'm not saying the attacking of a school would be a common occurance, but even in radical groups there are those people who want burn their enemies to the ground salt the earth they were living on. Look at Adam's exchange with Blake; 13 minutes in during Heroes and Monsters. "I never wanted this! I wanted equality! I wanted Peace!" to which Adam responds "What you want is impossible". He's given up on anything the WF once stood for.

But this change had to gradual, I think the real violence only would have just started. Tucson only recently left when last we see him, chased away, we can assume, by the new and harsher rules. Then when Blake talks about Adam's change after Yang was disqualified from the tournament, she said the change was gradual. I don't think those whole 5 years weren't all terrorist attacks, or you're exactly right, they would have been stopped by now (maybe; politics, etc...). But if the attacks only recently started, that may explain a lot.
