The purpose of democracy is to enable the people to protect themselves from crime, however that is defined. Since crime is always authoritarian (the criminal fails to respect the rights of the victim), democracy being anti-authoritarian prevents crime. Democracy is not criminal and as such it promotes peace and any opposition to democracy such as the first-past-the-post system is harmful to peace and is criminal.
Democracy is anti-authoritarian anarchy and so it acts against crime. Without authority (with anarchy) there is no crime and so democracy prevents crime and protects freedom.
