Exactly. The Volturi are the good guys, but with keen observance and strict interpretations of the vampire law. That's why most think they evil, because they don't "sugar-coat" their laws and don't give second chances. They most likely gave second chances in the past, but that may have resulted in appearing too soft for what a governing body should appear to be. But that doesn't mean that they go staight in for the kill when a law gets broken (to Caius's dismay), they need solid facts as well. That's why Aro's gift comes in handy. First, it's Aro that collects the truth. Then, it's consulting with the rest of the coven (like a jury). And finally, it's deciding on the fate of the criminal, coven, etc. They're not evil, people (except for Caius). If you want an evil coven, go look at James's coven or something of the sort.
