> Are there any examples of family member punishments deterring actual criminals from committing actual crimes?
Denmark has this strange law that allows families to be kicked out of apartments in certain areas if their children continues to commit crimes (and let's be honest it's targeted at male immigrants from the middle east). So if a young man living at home is caught committing crime repeatably, then the family will get a warning letting them know that their sons activities can cause them to lose their apartment. The idea is that the parents will step in and take action where the government can't or fails.
Not sure if it deters crime, but it does help motivate families to step in.
I believe so, but I actually never seen any mention of age limits. If it's adult children there is of cause the option of "just" kicking out the person committing the crime.
