    1) Crime rates naturally decrease in a growing/stable economy
    2) Law enforcement and litigation are valued institutions, and there's no reason to believe that they wouldn't exist in a stateless society, and be more accountable, effective, and less of a financial boondoggle.

    Chicken or egg?

    Growing stable economies require low crime rates...

    And while they're valued institutions, it's only ever been states with the ability to institute them. Show me a free society with a justice system to rival Britains.
