No. You're missing out a whole third group, the people who aren't very moral/empathetic but who do fear reprisals, for whom laws are effective enough to prevent seriously antisocial behavior. They're the petty thieves of the world, the ones who don't see the problem in taking the last two of something even when others have had none, but who wouldn't punch someone because they're afraid of getting arrested and sent to jail. Think Larry Ellison. Besides, for the people who don't care, we have prisons. The laws might not work for them but the walls do.
