Was reading somewhere crime is an intended produce, necessary to maintain a government in place to run the system.
Government: look, without us who would protect you from criminals.
It probably needs more than just criminality. But "foreign" threats would probably not be enough to justify how large government entities are throughout the globe.
Governments consciously or unconsciously need crime so would always make sure it doesn't get entirely eliminated.
Me think governments also like unemployment, since they provide unemployment and other social benefits.
I think they also like narcotics, ensuring not only constant supply of crime but also feed into the pharmaceutical business. Once you are hooked it's rather simple to pick you up and hook you to the official, legit drugs. At least for a while.
Wouldn't go as far as saying they may also benefit from epidemics and pandemics, they do provide the convenience to mandate everyone to stay home right before social protests get too well organised, that would be a stretch. Not an impossibility though.
