But for the rest, the threat of punishment keeps all of us from doing all kinds of unlawful stuff.

I don't know if I agree with that. I think the vast majority of people don't do unlawful stuff because we know it's wrong -- you know, the Golden Rule. I wouldn't steal from someone not because I might get locked up, but because I wouldn't want anyone stealing from me.
I guess it all depends upon your outlook of human nature. I think most people are generally good.
