If you’re interested in how a society without police could look like, there’s a good book by Ursula K. Le Guine, called " The Dispossessed".
If you’re interested about more theoretical work on why the police is a problem, you can search for “Abolition” or “Restorative Justice”. Especially for the latter there are loads of Videos explaining how to deal with unjust behavior of individuals.
There is a ton of theoretical work about how to resolve conflict and harm done without involving the police or the penal system. Its a very interesting subject and just imagining a society without police and penal justice can make for good utopia’s to strive for. Maybe it doesn’t work, but working towards a society that doesn’t need those systems is worth it in any case.
Here’s the issue with joke ideologies like anarchy, they only ever work in theory. They’re so deeply flawed that they collapse in on themselves any time they’re attempted in real life. Therefore, these ideologies only ever exists in fiction books and philosophical theories that revolve around unrealistic hypotheticals. In other words, anarchy is as a concept is nothing more than a thought exercise because it’s too fundamentally flawed to be anything more.
