## Crime

According to Marx, crime was virtually absent in the commune, stating:

> in fact, for the first time since the days of February 1848, the
> streets of Paris were safe,and that without any
> [police](police "wikilink") of any kind.“We hear no longer of
> assassination, theft, and personal assault; it seems indeed as if the
> police had dragged along with it to Versailles all its Conservative
> friends.” Said a member of the Commune\[1\]
