This is what I proposed in another thread:

Punish the pirates. Hear me out; in 0.5 space, when you get attacked, the attacker will get ganked by Concord. In low sec, this doesn't happen, there are, in a real sense, little to no consequences to attacking other players. The sec loss doesn't matter, and gate guns are easily tanked, as far as I can tell.

I get that low sec should be less lawful than high sec, but at the same time it shouldn't be lawless like it is now. Whenever someone is attacked, provided they're in good standing with the empire of which the space they're in, that faction's navy should show up and defend the player/attempt to gank the attackers. Unlike Concord, these npcs can be fought off with good enough tanks and large enough spawns. However, the higher the standings the attacked player has with the Faction, the better the spawn will be (factoring for the space's sec status; in 0.1 space, a 8.00 pilot might get five bses, in 0.4, they might get ten.)

IE I have a 7.08 standing with Amarr, if I'm in Amarr low sec and get attacked, the navy spawns and fights my attackers (even if the pirates ultimately get kill me.)

The core problem with low sec is that CCP has allowed it to become infested with pirates, who rarely suffer for their criminal actions. Sec loss is all too easily done, and NPCs don't react fast enough or pod pirates for it to ultimately matter to these players if they need to travel to high sec.
