Later on certain presumably GOOD or/and neutral towns will be able to choose their settlements as spawn points. This would pretty much remedy a lot of the current starting area problems.

Policing won't work on game launch. Combat isn't finished and everyone is going to be building their character and town. After towns are built I see good/neutral players fighting back any type of ganker/griefer. It really makes little sense to play right now if all you want is combat and pvp. Unless you want to practice active dodges and blocks.

As was said before... the consequences for being evil will be quite a bit harsher than good/neutral. Will.. be... later...
