In my experience, the kids who got physically punished at home were always more likely to be violent towards their peers.
Instead, use the civilized adult-world justice system; fuck up and you get your freedoms taken away.. your property confiscated.. etc. Prolonged punishments that have a real impact on the quality of their lives. That teaches long-term consequences. 
Otherwise, if you need to up the penalties, what are you going to do? Yell louder..? Hit harder...? It starts getting very white trash.
