Still people murder, rape and do all of the nasty stuff with little or no regard to laws.

How do you think people would behave if we didn't have laws against murder and rape? It's a safe bet they'd behave worse than they do now. Laws and codes of conduct are an imperfect solution to misbehavior, but they're far better than giving up and doing nothing.
