“Policemen and laws can never replace customs, traditions and moral values as a means for regulating human behavior. At best, the police and criminal justice system are the last desperate line of defense for a civilized society. Our increased reliance on laws to regulate behavior is a measure of how uncivilized we’ve become.” So whats the answer? In the end, it is only an internal moral compass in each individual that can effectively deal with the root causes as well as the symptoms of societal decay (From Elder D. Todd Christoffersons General Conference talk on Moral Discipline).
