Just playing devils advocate:
What do you do when you are the victim of a crime?

In an Anarchist-Communist society, responses to crime would involve community-based solutions. Victims and communities would work together to address the root causes of the crime(s), provide support to the victims, and focus on rehabilitation rather than punitive measures.

First of all, very noble
Love to get there but we won’t in my lifetime
Second Lenin was an anarcho-communist and he ordered people to be killed
Third, if someone killed one of my family members I’d want eye for an eye not rehabilitation
In which timeline was the author of "What Is To Be Done" an anarcho- anything? The SRs were possibly Anarchist-influenced, but the Bolsheviks were anything but.
I like this as a first-resort, very much, but alone its rather toothless.
Ancient decentralised legal systems (Anglosaxon, Gaelic, Norse) and modern (Somali Xeer, Pashtunwali) approximate that, but always with compensation in the foreground, and "follow the legal process or there's gonna be a clan war" in the background.
Because mob justice never happens in the absence of the law.
Mob justice is rather unpleasant, and communities, even frontier mining camps, tend to develop formalised legal systems pretty fast.
People don't need to agree on the outcomes, but the overwhelming majority do need to agree on process.
States get in the way of this, and impose systems responsive to the needs of power seekers in the metropole rather than the actual justice-seekers and their communities.
