As I've explained, IMO, educating and empowering people before they reach the stage of choosing a life of criminal behaviour so that they are less inclined to choose it.
I'd rather see crime rejected from the outset, instead of having people try to turn their backs on it once it's already pulled them in.

What you've explained isn't responsive to the question.
Q:
Which disincentive [to criminal behavior] is more efficient [than incarceration]?
A:
I'd rather see crime rejected from the outset...
I prefer that people reject crime too. Our preference isn't a disincentive to others. That's why I re-framed the question.
If your objection to incarceration is that it isn't an efficient disincentive, but you don't see any of the other disincentives as more efficient, your objection isn't with the inefficiency of incarceration as a disincentive, but with the idea of disincentives for criminal behavior.
