These things weren’t standard even in the fabled old west. Despite zero law enforcement and zero entitlements, crime was actually extremely rare because everyone was armed.
Rioting and looting were rare in the old west, but livestock theft and homicide per capita were quite high. Especially when you consider that most of the population lived in rural areas and most communities were small enough so that everybody really did know everybody. A typical community out west might only have a couple hundred families living around it.
And it's kind of obvious that you're not going to have a lot of riots when the population density is a small fraction of what it is now, even in the cities back then.
