Is it really reasonable? I struggle to think of any actual examples of a country where you could travel anywhere without risking getting robbed. "Most of the country's territory": sure, but "any part" whatsoever? It's a noble ideal but we're still not there yet so you can either shout at the Universe demanding it to be fair, or you can to try and live with what we have right now. I do expect the roads to have no potholes, and car drivers vigilant but I still look where I put my feet when I walk and look the street both ways before crossing it. When I trip on something because I was distracted I first think "Who the hell put that there?", then "Probably should have watched where I was going" second. Am I subconsciously trained to victim-blame myself?

In modern, civilized democracies, citizens delegate their right to use vigilante justice and violence in general to the state (in form of police), in exchange for the state's guarantee to uphold the law on its territory.

  Well, go and take a stroll at 3am in certain parts of Paris where police almost never manifests and when it does, it's in groups of 10 at least — the results may upset you.
