applying some serious consequences to his escalating criminal behavior...
This is absolutely what needs to happen. However, what might be a serious consequence for you might actually be a reward for some kids. In the old days we certainly had some ways of applying consequences that would be serious for anybody, but most of those were found to induce significant trauma which resulted in additional problems. I don't see this as a simple problem, but certainly one that when a few of the appropriate resources are applied can be solved. It is not a one size fits all problem and each case needs to be handled individually, which takes a lot of resources.

How about this, for every felony conviction after your first ten, it is an automatic 20 year no parole prison sentence. These sociopaths would not live long enough to commit more than 24 or 25 felonies, an improvement over today's limit of unlimited. Sort of kidding here but my point is, at some point a repeat offender should forfeit his right to live among us. That would put a cap on how many victims a given felon could produce.
