An increase in the percieved chance of being caught works as the best detterrant.
Most people break the laws because they think they will get away with it.
Next as a detterant comes sentancing, if they're given a slap on the wrist then they're more likely to think "hey if I get caught then it's not like anything is actually going to happen to me"
Then punishment, if they get put in prison, it should be set up to be a detterent for further offending, not just somewhere to house criminals.
