I stressed out that judgement's environment to have a council that judge, acting as the "jury". A jury of 10 or 20 people picked randomly in each case and the vote of each to carry out the sentence or not would make the mutilation sentence "more fair".
The Quran stated that the jury is essential in here:
The affair must be determined for a Muslim via consultation among other Muslims. So nobody would ever be sentenced in a just court without a jury -notice that this jury is explicitly defined by the word "among themselves"-.
Just so you know; this verse is enough to send all totalitarian systems to the garbage under Islam.
What Nudger said. The way to reduce crime is to improve society, not to chop bits off of criminals.

But you can't improve society when you have criminals robbing and killing. Yes; society must be improved at all times but also criminals need to be punished so they don't demolish the progress.
