to ensure that anarchy does not ensue, and that order is maintained. in somalia for over a decade, they have had little law enforcement until recently, and there was always fighting. and in iraq, the law simply does not exist in many areas, so there is widespread bloodshed. and in the tribal border regions between afghanistan and pakistan, the tribes rule themselves and the government has little or no influence, allowing many of the taliban and al-qaeda to escape there

It serves as a deterrent in most cases. Look at a busy street, traffic may be speeding by. However, if you place a patrol car on the side of the road, traffic slows to the speed limit. Here in Maine, I have seen many instances where the mere placement of a trooper's vehicle in the "turnaround", will serve this purpose.
And as Coragryph stated the ability for law enforcement to deliver the consequences for violators, ensures they either don't do it again, or deters them.

It ensures that the existing rules are followed. Absent enforcement and consequences, there is no point in having the laws.
