Do you have any suggestions for this "other way"?

I consider myself an anarchist in the sense that I believe that we should strive not to need government, taking responsibility for our own actions.

I do not currently believe we as a society have found a way to make that a reality :(

Implementing proper UBI and reducing poverty would cause a similar reduction in crime. It's not the end-all solution, but as societies build more safety nets, shift towards rehabilititive instead of punitive justice, and generally increase the "collective" wealth, crime will continue to fall.
