Maybe also add being ridden out of town on a rail, drawing and quartering, keel-hauling , stockades, the iron maiden and just public shaming in general. Those all seemed to be fairly effective at maintaining social cohesion in their respective times.
Drawing & quartering definitely includes killing the subject, keel hauling "fore and aft" often was fatal as well (port to starboard keel hauling just ripped the shit out of the subject rather than drowning them- usually).
Please do it in a period correct fashion, PINE TAR is the correct adhesive rather than asphalt type tars. Smells much nicer, lower liquidus temperature, doesn't necessarily cause 2nd degree whole body burns and death either. As far as the feathers, tough to source these days since feather pillows have gone by the wayside. Wouldn't waste a good down vest on these ¢un+s!
Random thought: Maybe it’s time to bring back tarring and feathering?
I given a "time out" on X/Twitter recently for saying just that.

Titrate.
I grapple with that thought on a daily.
Too lenient.

Good points all. Styrofoam peanuts might make a reasonable Charlie Uniform November Tango coating.
Just don't drop a match after, OK?
I mean, I probably wouldn't say anything if they used the other kind of tar.
Or the Ukrainian thing of saran-wrapping people to the telephone pole...
When the crooks on Wall Street were stealing homes, I suggested we creatively use lamp posts again. That is still an option.
I’m long piano wire.
It’s legitimately a daily struggle to keep going through the daily routine when so many identifiable people need killing.
