That does not seem to make any sense. If laws etc are the only thing that keep s law abiding people law abiding then in reality they are not law abiding people because only the laws are doing it so then law ... are making crooks obey the law. Good people do not need laws to tell them what is god or bad. Only bad people would need that. If the laws etc disappeared the bad people would run amok far more so then they already are. Stands to reason that if the laws are keeping bad people in check then more stringent laws might do a better job.
