Well, that might very well be exactly what we're seeing with Cinder, Mercury, and Emerald.

Hunters at Becaon all seem to be moral to some degree. And these are just first year students. The worst we've seen is Weiss being bitchy at times and CRDL being Jackasses, but nothing really evil. They've got many more years to go, and I'm assuming that this "Hunter Creed" will be hammered into their brains so often along the way that they'll end up dreaming about it. As for taking justice into their own hands... it already happens. And she's 17.

I'm not trying to say that they're shouldn't be a central authority, it just appears that there isn't.

I get less of a "Ministry of Magic" vibe from the RWBYverse and more of a "Dumbledore's Army" vibe, where there may be a leadership, per se, but there's nothing official.
