I support whatever the data says is effective. All crimes, except murder, have been falling in the Philipines since the executions of drug dealers and other criminals for example. 

Well, I guess another way to just make the data look better is to reduce the reporting of crimes.

I think it's logical that when you punish crime in a public and gruesome way it will lead to a reduction of it because no one wants to be the next guy out there. And studies bear out that cutting off of limbs reduces shoplifting. Deterrents work but they need to be severe and visually disgusting enough.
