RE: A practical problem for the Anarchist and New Age Voluntarists (and any other starry-eyed idealist). (featuring @vuyusile as author)

The opening question is under the assumption that high amounts of crime do occur. On land that does have a notable probability of crime, simple insurance business will not be capable of providing sufficient compensation, and may bankrupt themselves if they do not hire a protective force. I do not think such high crime areas are likely in a free system, but assuming they exist, this is a solid solution to the alternative.
No one would be required to enter areas managed by such businesses. But, for the people who do they could enter with confidence that competition and reputation maintenance would keep such businesses from framing them for crimes, or committing other wrong acts against them. Insurance alone would give people more reason to do nothing to stop theft, and would encourage staged activities to obtain payout.

So I see wholesale corruption in all levels of government; and this drives a great many vices that are visited on citizens. thats a given; and I don't need persuasion that government is weak and failing.
But I also see corruption and interest seeking in the private sphere that will break the market's invisible hand. A great deal more harm may be done while the market and market actors try to sort it out.
As much as I would like to believe, I have not been won over to this set of proposals.
