I guess it all depends upon your outlook of human nature. I think most people are generally good.

Totally opposite of that, I'm scared of the police and I'm a black female. Punishment definitely is the deterrent for me.

Reminds me of the Dave Chappelle stand up special, where he says, if a black guy tries to do something wrong an old black dude will pop out and say, "N*gga don't do that, that's 5 to 10. We know the laws and the penalties."
