I don't know that this is true. Government responds to 'evil' on a very low level - by making laws against it and punishing people who break those laws. This does not address the reasons that people have for wanting to break those laws. People are being dictated to rather than listened to and will respond accordingly.
We've been living under a government for some time now. How are those crime figures looking?

Because we have technologies that allow small groups of individuals to do a lot of damage the need for a culture of personal responsibility rises and the ability of government to control technologies drops.

My apologies, I must've forgotten. I've responded now. I may or may not respond to a continuation of the thread as I have less free time these days.
