I suspect the law of unintended consequences would rear its ugly head.

Yes, we'd probably lose some criminals due to harsh conditions, but as a side effect some would adapt, create their own wilderness empires, and we'd have fewer but much more criminals skilled in woodcraft. That might complicate things a bit.

Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
