17A Slip requesting neighbour's silence? One intervenes with good intentions (11)

Have got p-a-e-e-p-r, so looks like peacekeeper. But why?

peacekeeper
one who intervenes to keep the peace
Question Author
I agree the answer is peacekeeper. What I'd like to know is, why?
a neighbourly term sam used to be "to keep the peace"
not wanting to fall out with any of your neighbours
easier to tell a little white lie
rather than fall out
Question Author
Thanks, Sam1960, for all your help. However, I still don't think the first part of the clue leads easily (or, to my mind, logically), to the second part, and ultimately the answer. It is my last light in the puzzle, and I've put peacekeeper as answer before I hit the Submit button.
