Show the kids what happens to people who deal drugs, assault other people, and steal things. This should scare at least some people out of a life of crime.
All it does is make people like you happy, because you believe in the terrible misconception that hard punishments lead to less crime (they don't).
People aren't scared into not doing something. Instead, you should help those who have gone over the line through rehabilitation.
