Notes -
If I wanted to channel some Dread Jim, I would say public humiliation and then public execution. Make it very clear that they are not a role model and make them look as pathetic as possible, so every would-be gangster can see exactly badass they're going to look as they're publicly shamed before being hanged. The general deterrent value is debatable, but the specific deterrent value is quite high (hard to re-offend after being executed).
