How many times should someone be convicted of serious crimes before he's labeled a menace to society and hanged by the neck until dead?

More than one time but less than thirty? I suggest that a points system could be useful.

A coworker of mine from a former life was from Indonesia. He explained to me one time over a shared lunch how many of their mid-sized towns (50K to 100K) were nearly crime free.

As in most places like that, a relative handful of criminals committed nearly 95% of the crimes. On a quiet night, they would go through the files and decide which ones were due for an accident or a mysterious death in a brawl or the like.

A few days later, said career criminal would mysteriously end up dead in some back alley or the like. Of course, an investigation would be conducted and, of course, they would have to close the case due to lack of evidence.
