Only if accompanied by repentance, introspection and improvement, along with strengthening in Torah-observance. Repentance and obedience to God are essential; they should accompany the sacrifices and cannot be replaced by the sacrifices (or anything else). All of the offerings are intended to be part of a process of drawing near to God. This ideal of offerings together with repentance is explained in the Talmud as well (Berakhot 23a). The Talmud adds that, similar to the offerings, Torah-study itself also needs to be accompanied by repentance (Berakhot 17a).

Why have Jews stopped offering sacrifices to atone for their sins?
The sacrifices only ended because the Temple fell; the Romans destroyed it in 70 CE. Jews are not allowed to offer sacrifices anywhere else (Deuteronomy ch.12). Also, in Judaism the sacrifices were only for unintentional sins - and they were never the only route to atonement. They were used primarily to draw us closer to God. The sacrifices were a consequence of committing a sin (not all sins, might I add), but not meant to completely atone for one's sin. The sacrifice was used so that the Jew would see himself in the animal and realize that because of his sins, it ought to be him who is being offered up, not the animal. In order for the sin to be atoned for, the Jew needs to do teshuvah (repentance). This consists of several things: regretting the act, saying that you will never do the act again with all intention to follow through with this, and never doing the act again. No one today has authority to perform the sacrifices.

Did their sacrifices fully atone for sin?
The Jewish position is that in the days of the Temple, it was impermissible for a person to bring a sin sacrifice until after they had repented, and in the case of sins against another person, until after they had made appropriate restitution. Ideally, the victim must forgive the sinner, and the Jewish position is that failure to forgive after receiving adequate restitution and evidence of contrition is itself a sin. Many of the prophets had very strong things to say about those who made empty sacrifices, that is, those made without repentance or restitution.

All animal sacrifices stopped when the temple in Jerusalem fell in A.D.70. They can only take place at the temple, so we don't practise Korbanot any longer.
