It has to be fair for everyone.

No, fairness does not guarantee effectiveness. The law must be easy to interpret (as enforcers and judges MUST interpret it), specific in its definitions, and harsh in its punishments. THEN it will have the effects its authors desired.

What makes a law effective is when the punishments are harsh life life sentences and things like that which can scare murders, so that they will not do it again (this is my personal answer).

A law is effective when it is clear, enforceable, and has the support of the community. It should be able to achieve its intended purpose, address a specific problem, and be followed by those it applies to. Effective laws also need to be periodically reviewed and revised to ensure they remain relevant and achieve their desired outcomes.
