You seem to have a fundamental misunderstanding of what police does. Neither does it make the laws, nor is it responsible for convicting rapists.

Handling crime as an injury of the community and focusing on healing that wound as a community

Like when people were burning witches? Or what's happening right now in multiple countries which do not have police where all disputes are "solved" by clan-violence and vigilantes on the streets?

Why do you believe, when your neighbours form their little vigilante groups, that they will help you when someone rapes you? What if the rapist is a friend of them or even someone from that group? What if they believe it's okay to rape specific people or under specific circumstances?

Why did people burn witches? Maybe because someone in a position of power was in search of a scapegoat to blame because their position was threatened?

Very non-hierarchical structures you're describing here. /s

I'm not proposing "neighbors form[ing] little vigilante groups, so... Idk? 🤷
