In before times, crimes were easier to stop as people primarily lived in small communities and it was easy to find out and exclude people, which then often meant death.
But even still, plenty of today's crimes were rampant. As much as I'd love to see anarchism in action, this requires core changes to the structure of society, and we're not at the point where getting rid of police will be a positive step forward.
Police doesn't stop crime, it never has and it never will. You have to get this idea out of your head.
