This is for when the benefit of what you do to someone isn't so much in and of itself as about the message it sends to others, about what could happen to them. As is implied from this, what happened needs to be known in order for it to work. While the most common "example" is death, more cunning punishment forces realize that this can backfire, and will go for the Humiliation Conga and/or Fate Worse than Death.
It is often associated with governments, especially the more tyrannical of them, but not exclusively; see also the deterrence argument for the use of this in the context of more democratic societies. Also, even forces outside the law, like terrorists, criminal syndicates, and Serial Killers, apply this as well. It's also very common with revolutionary forces; with prisoners, stringing up or dumping their mutilated remains serves as a warning to soldiers of the current regime, while population centers that they suspect of being in league with the regime or even just not being supportive of them are likely to be brutalized as a "stand with us or else" message.
Often combined with You Have Failed Me, when an underling is punished brutally for failure "to encourage the others", or a Thrown from the Zeppelin-style gathering.
Note that the "example" is usually more severe than the "normal" punishment, making this Disproportionate Retribution. See also Scare 'Em Straight, which is effectively the end goal of this trope.

The Hitman's Bodyguard: President Dukhovich is introduced paying a visit to a professor who's been saying things critical of his government. He decides that having the professor executed for treason will simply inspire other dissidents to step up and take his place, so he instead personally kills the professor's wife and son, then throws the professor in an internment camp.

Hopper, from A Bug's Life, uses this tactic often. He gives a speech to the other grasshoppers about how if "you let one ant stand up to us, then they all might stand up," and to drive the point home, even uses a demonstrated analogy involving grains that results in several of his henchmen getting buried; it's twofold in involving him applying it to his own henchmen in the context of a speech made to get them to apply it to the ants. Later on, it's revealed that he plans to squish the queen so as to "remind [the ants] who's boss," and also tries to find out whose idea the bird was so as to make an example of him or her.

Darth Vader: Dark Lord of the Sith
After two failed attempts to kill him, which Vader strongly suspects were organised by conspirators in the upper-ranks of the Imperial Officer Corps, he tells Sidious that there will be consequences to this, and he will take either some Imperial lives or all of them. Sidious agrees, only ordering him to spare Grand Moff Tarkin. And so, at Vader's request, Palpatine introduces Darth Vader to the Empire's Army/Navy as his right hand and his voice. What does Vader do? He selects five random officers and force-chokes them to death, declaring that he will always survive each assassination attempt against him but they will not. This shows to the Imperial Officers to not mess with him and that he has no qualms to kill anyone in his own ranks just to prove his point.
Tarkin would prefer to negotiate terms with the Mon Calamari, and when that fails occupy their planet with troops rather than use Orbital Bombardment. But when he does go that far he keeps going even after their king tries to surrender, so that the newly established Empire can make it clear what they will do to any planet that defies them.

Andor:
Paak gets hung in the public square to "remind" the other locals who is in charge after he's tortured into giving up the information the ISB wants from him.
A similar fate befell Cassian's adopted father Clem, many years before the show's present. After being mistaken for a stone throwing protestor and killed on the spot, Clem's body was later hanged in the public square, possibly along with the actual stone throwers he was trying to stop.

In Breath of the Wild, this is standard procedure for the Yiga Clan against members who defect from them. They've already killed Dorian's wife for his defection, they're threatening to kill his daughters if he doesn't do their bidding again, and they're about to kill him anyway before Link intervenes.

Quite common in the Redwall series, as villains have a tendency to kill their subordinates. Gulo is especially prone to this even killing a soldier when he had only about 6 or 7 left. Also Rigu Felis: 'What should have happened to those otters?' 'Th-they should have been slain, lord.' 'SLAIN!'(cuts down him down)'Just like this one.'

In The Jackal, a leader of The Mafiya named Murad gets extremely upset about his brother dying during a police raid (a joint FBI/FSB investigation) and orders the blood of every single Russian police officer involved to run on the streets… and for the Americans, he orders the Jackal to kill the First Lady of the United States in the most public, ultra-violent method he can devise and laughs off in acceptance when the Jackal charges him almost $100 million because after a hit this high-profile he will need to lay low for the rest of his life. The heroes spend most of the film erroneously assuming that the Jackal's target is the head of the FBI because he is the only target they can think of would be worth the Jackal's price (and trouble) and makes the most sense in Murad's "eye for an eye" mentality. Murad also kills his brother's bodyguard for his failure and tells everybody else in the room that he didn't felt any pleasure for doing that and they better believe he has something worse planned for the people he hates.

In Courier's Mind: Rise of New Vegas, Vulpes Inculta explains that this is why he had to massacre the town of Nipton as brutally as he did. The Courier, after getting over his disgust, makes a point to give them a taste of their own medicine whenever he kills other Legionnaires later in the game, going out of his way to hack off their limbs or throw their corpses into fires as a big middle-finger to Caesar.

In Dungeons & Dragons, Lolth, the Top Goddess of the Drow Pantheon, transforms any of her worshippers who fail her tests into Driders. However, while Driders are shunned and driven out of Drow society, they are not killed, as they are living examples of what happens to those who fail the Spider Queen's tests. In fact, a Drow who kills a Drider might well be transformed into one themselves by Lolth.

In Voltaire's Candide, the title character witnesses the execution of an admiral which is explained to him with the famous line: "In this country they find it necessary to kill an admiral from time to time, to encourage the others (pour encourager les autres)." The scene is based on the Real Life execution of the British Admiral Byng, whom Voltaire had met, for alleged cowardice in battle.

RWBY:
In "Necessary Sacrifice," Adam orders his subordinates to assassinate Blake's parents. When Corsac orders Ilia to participate in the mission, he declares that the deaths of the Belladonnas will send a message to Menagerie and get them to understand what will happen to those who speak out against the White Fang. However, Fennec points out that doing so may just as easily backfire and rally Menagerie against the White Fang.
In "Stealing From The Elderly", Atlas Special Operative Caroline Cordovin threatens the heroes with this when she learns that they are trying to steal an airship from the base she commands. When Maria Calavera mocks her authority, Cordovin takes a Humongous Mecha and attacks the gang with it.

With This Ring:
The Renegade could have killed the First Citadelian immediately upon defeating him, but bringing him back to be publicly executed has a bigger PR impact.

The above page quote, of course, refers to the Disney version of The Hunchback of Notre Dame. The context of the quotation is trying to justify burning down a house with a family trapped inside. This is not the only example; Frollo whipping the previous captain of the guard in front of the next one, apparently to show what happens to captains who disappoint Frollo, is likely also an example of this.

Assassination Classroom: Part of the foundation of Chairman Asano's pedagogy is to make his students think that losing is a Fate Worse than Death so they will avoid failure by any means necessary. He created Class 3-E for this purpose. Formed by students who either failed to keep their grades up or were punished for breaking regulations, they're the pariahs of the school and the rest of the students as well as the faculty are encouraged to treat them like trash. Effectively, Class 3-E's role is to demonstrate what happens to the people that are labeled "failures" by the system.

Between Worlds: The Shil'vati normally wouldn't have cared about the Bar Brawl that triggers the series because, frankly, the off-duty Shil'vati soldier whom Jason fought only had herself to blame. However, somebody filmed the fight and it went viral, and the commander of the Shil'vati occupation of Earth wants to keep the video from being used to embolden La Résistance. So Jason is arrested and given a Sadistic Choice between prison and enlisting in the Shil'vati Imperial Marines.

Unforgiven's Little Bill, after savagely whipping Munny's friend Ned to death, puts his body out on display at the saloon as an example of how he and the others deal with "assassins." Unfortunately, this proves to be Little Bill's biggest mistake.

Final Fantasy XIV: as revealed in the Samurai job questline, it is not uncommon for a criminal's family to be made example for their crimes. When Ugetsu assassinated bakufu officials, the bakufu retaliated by killing his parents. His sister, Kagetsu/Makoto, barely avoided suffering the same fate.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars:
Tarkin is the prosecutor at the trial for the bombing of the Jedi Temple, and blinds himself at the idea Ahsoka is innocent and the faults in the evidence because by obtaining a death sentence he would prove, to the population and the Jedi themselves, that everyone, even the Jedi, were accountable before the law. He is appalled at himself when Anakin barges in with the real culprit and proves he almost got an innocent executed.
Shortly after the war, he's ordered to pacify multiple Separatist holdouts. He starts by invading the planet Antar and massacring part of the population, without caring about who was a Separatist and who was a member of the loyalist guerilla. Numerous holdouts surrender soon after, including Raxus, the Separatist capital that had just thrown the Empire off.

In The Order of the Stick, the Thieves' Guild has a tendency to be very harsh with people who break their rules. Guild members who try to leave are usually killed, while guild members who sell secrets receive harsh punishments, like, say, having any body part they're nicknamed after removed.

In Fallout: New Vegas, Caesar's Legion is very fond of this. A common tactic in dealing with enemies is to crucify them, and Caesar had one of his Legates covered in pitch and set aflame after he failed to take the Hoover Dam from the NCR as an example for the price of failure among his ranks.

It also doubles as a big Kick the Dog moment because mere moments before giving the order, he'd extorted Mizore for sex in exchange for not doing so. Fortunately, Tsukune and the others put a stop to it.

Donald, the acting head of the Union, retaliates by gathering an elite but deliberately small group of fighters to take straight into the heart of Cheongang and eliminate all of its executives, not only proving the might of Yeongdeungpo but humiliating Cheongang so thoroughly that any further opposition is stomped out.

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: During the final arc that sees the Federation invade the Dominion stronghold on Cardassia Prime, the Cardassian resistance (led by Kira, Garak, and Damar) is becoming an irritating bother for the occupiers when Weyoun suggests to the Female Changeling the idea of leveling a city of a million people to show the Cardassians what happens to anyone who betrays the Dominion. This has the exact opposite effect when almost the entire Cardassian fleet defects to the Federation-Klingon-Romulan forces.

The Legend of Zelda:
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time: Ganondorf, as a warning to those who would oppose him, tries to feed all the Gorons to a dragon in the Fire Temple.
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess: Zant executes the Zora queen when he shrouds the Lanayru Province in twilight. This later sets up a subplot when her son, Ralis, falls ill on his way to Castle Town to get help.
In Breath of the Wild, this is standard procedure for the Yiga Clan against members who defect from them. They've already killed Dorian's wife for his defection, they're threatening to kill his daughters if he doesn't do their bidding again, and they're about to kill him anyway before Link intervenes.

The Golden Hamster Saga: In the backstory of The Haunting of Freddy, Baron Templeton forbids peasants from using weapons to hunt on his land. In 1593, he redefines "weapon" to include animals, ruining the livelihood of Grim Harry, who uses ferrets to hunt rabbits. Grim Harry, who feels that the law is unjust, continues to hunt using ferrets. He's caught and publicly hanged. The Baron goes to a great deal of effort to make sure there are as many spectators as possible so everyone will know what happens to people who defy him.

Mass Effect: A side-mission has Shepard finding a ship where the entire crew headed into geth space for no reason they can determine, and wound up turned into Husks, en masse. Shepard and their team speculate it was the geth showing what happens to anyone who enters their territory. Later entries in the series confuse this reading of events somewhat, as the "geth" you encounter in the first game are "Heretics" who decided to ally with The Reapers. As such, it's also plausible that this might be either a False Flag Operation on the Reapers' part to frame the geth and draw them into the conflict, or that the crew encountered a Reaper Artifact and ended up in Geth space for some other reason.

A perfect example of this happens in a 2009/2010 storyline of General Hospital; Michael attacks Claudia Zacchara to protect his mother Carly and newborn sister, but accidentally kills her. As a result, Carly, Jason, and Sonny all opt to ship Michael out of Port Charles and for Sonny to take the fall, but just as the jury is about to announce their verdict at Sonny's trial, Dante Falconeri, Sonny's recently discovered firstborn and a PCPD detective, discovers the truth and gives Michael up, expecting that the judge will let Michael off with a suspended sentence. Instead, the judge, furious that Michael's family had been lying for months and fed up with the constant Courtroom Antics, decides to make an example of Michael for all those who try to twist the law for their own ends by sentencing Michael to two-to-five years in the Pentonville Adult Correctional Facility.

Rebuild World:
The free Mystery Meat food dispensed by the government to the slums is done as part of an enforced Truce Zone where trying to skip in line will make the servers pack up an leave. This leads to residents beating such people to death to prevent that.
When Akira is installing Sheryl as the new leader of the dead Sebia's gang, instead of walking in with her which would lead to them waiting for Akira to leave her side before killing her, Akira stalks outside her base to wait for an insurrection and mow down the rebels in a storm of bullets, to let fear of him keep Sheryl safe while he's out hunting.
When a rival gang representative Wataba tries to pull And Your Little Dog, Too! threats against Akira, he's Killed Mid-Sentence and dragged through the streets back to meet their gang boss as this.
To prevent people getting inside his APC ahead of the wounded during a Search & Rescue op, Sergeant Rock Shirakabe uses his Powered Armor to send someone Punched Across the Room as this, dragging the unconscious man into the vehicle before leaving.

In Battletech, this was the lorewise fate of Clan Smoke Jaguar, the Token Evil Teammate of the Invader Clans. When the Inner Sphere united into a second Star League their immediate concern was to demonstrate their strength so as to prevent further Clan attacks from the Clans who weren't bound by the Truce, and they singled out Smoke Jaguar to be their example. The Jaguars found themselves attacked on all sides in their Inner Sphere territory and ejected from the Inner Sphere wholesale, following which the Star League traced them back to their home world of Huntress and conquered their entire territory, effectively Annihilating the Jaguars in all but name.

In the second episode of Doctor Syn ("The Scarecrow"), Syn learns that one of his smuggling crew plans to sell him out to the authorities. Since being arrested and unmasked is the greatest threat to him, Syn decides to put on a display so terrifying that nobody else will even think of turning on him and, as the Scarecrow, stages a Kangaroo Court and hangs the traitor. Or so it appears; in reality Scarecrow fakes it and then tells the man to flee the county because he'll surely be killed if discovered alive.

Watership Down
Blackavar tries to escape the dictatorship-warren of Efrafa, beating up a couple of sentries in the process. The Council tears his ears to shreds and orders him displayed to every Mark on silflay, and tell everyone who asks why he was punished. By the time Bigwig encounters him, he's started to crack up.
The rabbits explain the existence of the gamekeeper's gibbet as the Black Rabbit making an example of elil who have killed without his permission.

In the backstory of A Song of Ice and Fire, young Tywin Lannister's absolute annihilation of House Reyne and House Tarbeck during their rebellion, even in the face of being offered a surrender, was partly an attempt to send a warning to any other subservient houses that had grown bold under his father's weak rule that any sign of disloyalty would not be tolerated. Decades later, this act has been immortalized into the song, "The Rains of Castamere", the mere singing of which by a messenger to any lord threatening to defy the now Lord Tywin is enough to make them fall into line.
In the backstory, the city of Qohor tried to cheat the Golden Company of their pay for services rendered, so the Golden Company sacked the city as a warning to future employers not to screw them out of their money.

One Piece: The World Government tried to do this with Gold Roger, the King of Pirates, before the main story began. It backfired when Roger announced his legendary hidden treasure to the world during his execution, spurring on a golden age of piracy and making the Marines' jobs of controlling pirates much harder.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind: Sorbet and Gelato of La Squadra wanted to know more about the Boss's(Diavolo's) secret identity, so they started a little investigation of their own. The Boss has Sorbet's body chopped up into 36 pieces by Ciocolatta while Gelato, being Forced to Watch, chose to swallow the gag tied around his mouth and suffocate rather than meet the same fate as his partner. When Gelato's body was delivered to his teammates, the Boss attached a note that only read "Punishment" and left the gag in. He also went the extra mile with Sorbet, having preserved his mutilated body with formaldehyde and stuck it in 36 individual frames that, when put together, made the entirety of the corpse. In this case, the "example" backfires in that it pisses La Squadra off, enflaming their intended treachery and leaving them chomping at the bit to get back at the Boss for payback as much as profit.

The Bible:
In Exodus 9:15-17, God directly states this as one of the intentions behind His Signs and Wonders (AKA the Plagues of Egypt). Instead of wiping out all of the Egyptians, God is making an example of some of them despite the way they allowed the Hebrews to suffer (with the slavery and killing their male babies).
In the various laws God lays down for His people Israel, the prescribed punishments for certain transgressions, such as a daughter "playing the harlot" in her father's house when it cannot be proven whether she was truly a virgin when she was given in marriage, was meant to be seen by the other Israelites to make them fear God and not follow after that person's bad example.
In 1 Timothy 5:19-20, if an elder sins, they must be rebuked publicly so that "others may also fear".
In 2 Peter 2:6, Peter says God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah with such a destruction, condemning them to ashes, to make them an example "to those who afterward would live ungodly."

Star Trek: Untold Voyages: In "Renewal", Krell kills his helmsman, Kross, after he reminds him that they were ordered to travel to Earth and meet with the Federation Council. This serves as a stark reminder to the rest of the crew not to offer any unsolicited opinions about how to run the ship. Nevertheless, Kross' replacement points out that they are still expected on Earth after Krell fails to capture the Enterprise and orders him to return to Klingon space. As he did with Kross, Krell kills the second helmsman. He then instructs the remaining members of the bridge crew to find him a helmsman who can keep his mouth shut.

Game of Thrones:
Rhaegal becomes Dany's instrument of sending a message to the other Meereen nobles when he roasts one of them alive. He then feasts on the burnt carcass with his brother.
When Dany roasts the crap out of the Lannister army, Drogon roars at the survivors who do not kneel, but some remain defiant. Then Dany sentences their general and his son to die by dragonfire, right on the dewy grass. Nobody refuses to kneel after that.
One of Lord Tywin Lannister primary philosophies when dealing with those in his way. If ever another family, be it a vassal or a rival, defies or insults House Lannister, Tywin will brutally, and thoroughly crush them, often in visible ways. He explains this to Jaime that if other groups are allowed to slight their house without response, then it sets a precedence which they can't afford. This comes back to bite the Lannisters when Tywin is gone and all the Houses he made enemies are now coming for blood and even before then, he knows the Lannisters are broke and it won't be long before everyone else knows it too.
There's also a scene in season 2 which features the "hanging corpses" variety of this trope. While Brienne is transporting Jaime to King's Landing, they pair happen across three female corpses hanging from a tree with a sign that reads "They lay with lions". It transpires that these women were prostitutes who were killed by some northern soldiers for sleeping with Lannister men.
In season 8, Daenerys, fed up with the Lannister regime's continued resistance and what she perceives as Westeros' general lack of gratitude for helping win the Second War for Dawn, decides to make an example out of King's Landing and proceeds to sack and burn it to the ground.

That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime: As part of his plans to integrate the monster-populated kingdom of Tempest with the rest of the world, Rimuru advocates a policy of pacifism against humans and builds up Tempest as a prosperous new trade hub through what was previously a dangerous forest. However, this inadvertently threatens the kingdom of Falmuth, whose economy was reliant on being a major trade hub themselves that circumvented the forest. With people flocking to Tempest as the new superior trade center, Falmuth decides to respond by masacring hundreds of civilian monsters and threatening to declare war on a flimsy "monster extermination" pretext, intending to take the city for themselves. Tempest responds in kind by completely anihilating the entire 20,000-man invading army and letting Rimuru devour their souls, half because they needed the souls to resurrect their fallen and let Rimuru evolve into a Demon Lord and half to send a message to the other nations that they should not mistake their pacifism for weakness.

Critical Role:
As Vox Machina arrive in Whitestone, they see a group of bodies hanged from the Sun Tree. When they go for a closer look, and Matt describes the bodies, the realization slowly sinks in that the bodies are townspeople, crudely dressed as Vox Machina and hanged in effigy. Both the party and the players are thoroughly shaken.
Much later in campaign 3, it's revealed that Laudna was one of the hanged townspeople. According to her, all of them were tortured before they were hanged and her ears were cropped to look more like Vex'halia, despite it being impossible to tell from the ground.
In Campaign 2, after half of the Mighty Nein is abducted by slavers, the other half (Beau, Caleb, Mollymauk, and Nott) decide to stage an ambush with the help of Keg, a woman with a grudge against and a lot of info about the slaver guild that took their friends. It goes horrifically wrong as all of Keg's info turns out to be either outdated or just plain incorrect, and the Iron Shepherds overpower the remaining Nein with ease. Lorenzo, the leader of the Iron Shepherds, decides to teach them a lesson about messing with him by brutally murdering Molly in front of them.
Played for Laughs in the Echoes of the Solstice oneshot. As Aggy barges into the Cobalt Reserve's storage room and sets off every possible trap on his way in, Caduceus leans down to Luc and tells him to watch, since this is a perfect example of how adventurers should not behave. Moments later, Aggy headbutts a storage locker rigged with a Disintegrate spell, and is instantly reduced to fine ash.

As well, all of her retainers present attack her friends. All of these retainers get locked up by the protagonist, and face A Fate Worse Than Death at the hands of her father and brother, the details of which are Too Much Information for her. Those students' families get crushed and replaced with new vassals by her father.

In the My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic episode "The Beginning of the End," Grogar suggests a Villain Team-Up to form a Legion of Doom to fight the Mane Six. King Sombra rejects the offer, instead saying that he'll Take Over the World alone. Grogar lets Sombra go, but all but says that Sombra is going to lose. Sure enough, when Sombra ends up turned to dust by the Rainbow Power, Grogar tells the rest of the villains that the rest of them will meet the same fate unless they follow his plan. It was revealed in the Grand Finale that Grogar was really a disguised Discord, and he brought the villains together to test Twilight and boost her confidence to see if she was ready to become the new ruler of Equestria. Unfortunately, his lesson to convince the villains to work together backfired on him when they banded together behind his back and became a unified threat to Equestria.

Child of the Storm: once upon a time, a great sorcerer happened upon a likely lad with vast potential to be his apprentice, one with the potential - so he thought - to save the universe one day. He raised the boy as his own, trained him in the mystic arts and his native mutant powers, until the young hero was ready to defeat and drive out none other than Kang the Conqueror. The mission done, they were to journey on and help guide history from the shadows, preparing for the ultimate battle with Thanos. Unfortunately, this young apprentice foster-child had an ego. Even more unfortunately, he happened to be Apocalypse. He betrayed his teacher, forcing him to flee, claimed Kang's empire, expanded it, and ruthlessly warped it and its inhabitants with his bizarre Social Darwinist philosophy. Unfortunately for him, his mentor was Doctor Strange. Long story short, Apocalypse's empire collapsed around his ears, and Apocalypse's body was killed, while his soul was trapped inside the rotting corpse - and if that weren't enough, it was stuck on a metaphysical yo-yo, so once Apocalypse figured out how to break free and Body Surf, it would inevitably snap back in short order. He was stuck like that for eight thousand years. In the words of his former teacher...

Blake's 7: In "Shadow", an organized crime boss prepares to make a nasty example of two people who tried to steal from him. However, the example isn't to discourage others from stealing, but to show his superiors and underlings that he's tough enough to run his territory.

In Star Wars Rebels season 1 Grand Moff Tarkin has the incompetent Commandant Aresko and Taskmaster Grint executed in front of Agent Kallus and Minister Tua to demonstrate that their failure to stop Phoenix Squadron will have dire consequences if it continues.
2 seasons later Grand Admiral Thrawn is brought in to deal with sabotage at a speeder bike factory on Lothal, as bikes made there tended to overheat and explode if they went too fast. He forces one of the workers to test one of the bikes. When the bike's engine starts overheating, the worker tries to power down the engine, but he overrides the controls and turns engine power back up to maximum, and the bike blows up, taking the worker with it. Thrawn then announces that all new bikes will now have to be personally tested by the worker who made it, and expects the malfunction rate to decline substantially.

The Omnitrix Hero: When Vilgax makes his return to Earth in the Season 2 finale, he plans to take his revenge against the Earth for the constant humiliations and defeats he has suffered every time he comes there to reclaim his fearful reputation across the universe and set an example for those who dare to defy him. He captures as many humans in Canterlot as he can, intending to take them back to his home planet Vilgaxia and put them all in a People Zoo, and plans to set off a bomb that will destroy the entire continent and cause a chain reaction that rips the rest of the planet apart and exterminate all life on it. This act of pettiness shows everyone else just how "sick" Vilgax truly is.

The Soviet Twinblade helicopter unit in Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 may use "We will make an example of them!" as a quote if ordered to attack an enemy unit, a nod to the in-game fluff about its role in the Red Army as The Political Officer who usually patrols the edges of the battlefield and gun down any attempted deserters (something which isn't an issue for the player in actual gameplay).

In The Wire, the Barksdale Organization that controls the West Side of Baltimore starts out as the most dominant and ruthless drug syndicate in the city. When Omar and his two stick-up partners steal from a Barksdale stash, Avon Barksdale quickly declares he wants an example made. Within days both of Omar's partners are brutally murdered: John Bailey is shot 46 times, his Bulletproof Vest not being able to save him, while Brandon Wright is brutally tortured to death, then left on display in the projects as an example.

One of the most famous examples of this trope appears in The Avengers (2012), when Loki gets mad at an elderly German man for delivering an epic "The Reason You Suck" Speech against him. He immediately warns the other Germans all resistance will meet the same end, and tries to zap the poor guy out of existence. Fortunately Steve Rogers jumps down and saves him.

A Darker Path:
Atropos makes it clear to the mayor that if anyone on the city revitalisation committee tries to skim funds, she will ensure that their colleagues are dissuaded from repeating it.
She also intentionally makes her assassinations impressive and even spectacular, partly because her power likes to show off, but also because it discourages everyone else from tangling with her and making her life tedious.

The Ultimate Evil:
After the Dark Hand fails to retrieve the Talismans from the Living Statue of Lo Pei, Shendu decides to make Valmont more motivated to avoid further failures by burning his secretary to death in front of him.
After Shendu (now possessing Valmont's body) discovers that Hak Foo nearly killed Valerie, he painfully punishes Hak Foo in front of the other Enforcers to make it clear for all of them once and for all that Valerie is not to be harmed. Hak Foo is allowed to live only because he's the least incompetent of the Enforcers.
In the rewritten reality, Nat and her family tried to rebel against the Demon Sorcerers' rule. After killing them all, Shendu placed Nat's body on the wall in the outskirts of Hong Kong to warn the humans never to defy the demons.

Happens a lot in The Hunger Games. Executions and floggings are often done in public, the privileged citizens of the Capitol always have Avox slaves (people from the districts who were arrested on political charges and had their tongues cut off) dangled in front of them (although a lot of them don't seem to get the message), an entire district (one of the 14 settlements that make up the whole nation) was nuked, and the titular games themselves are just there to actively remind the districts how badly they were crushed the last time they rebelled and how much crueller the Capitol is willing to be after suffering through that one war.

In Fengshen Yanyi, once the protagonist Jiang Ziya is made supreme commander of the Zhou army, he writes down a list of seventeen articles aimed at disciplining the troops, all seventeen of them listing the death penalty as a punishment to warn others. They range from somewhat reasonable (treason, sabotage, rape, espionage) to disproportionate (shyness, favoritism, theft).

Early in Dragon Age II, you're given the choice between helping a group of mages flee the Kirkwall Circle or turning them in. If you pick the latter, Knight-Commander Meredith has three of them hanged as a lesson to others (picked at random, at that). If you pick the former, they are eventually captured anyway and Meredith has three of them randomly made Tranquil instead. It's a good indicator of how she operates before she goes crazy from buying an Artifact of Doom.

Martín Fierro: This is the standard procedure in the Frontier army:
When the conscripted soldiers arrived at the Frontier, none of the old recruits are relieved. One of them complains, and he is promptly tortured.
Fierro dares to ask for his salary to the army officials, and they offer to investigate the matter, but when Fierro mocks a gringo about his incapacity to speak spanish, the Gringo mistakes him for the enemy and almost kills Fierro. When the officials get word of it, they took the chance to torture Fierro.

Dragon Ball Z: During the Namek Saga, Frieza is anything but pleased to discover that Zarbon not only went after Vegeta without his orders, but also beat him up and left him for dead in a lake without making sure, largely because he had deduced Vegeta had found and hid at least one Dragon Ball and Zarbon's actions may have cost them their chances at finding it. In the same conversation, Orlen enters and reveals he came across the village Vegeta decimated and stole the Dragon Ball from... only to stupidly reveal that he killed the Sole Survivor of the attack without asking him where Vegeta went. Frieza immediately kills him with his Eye Beams for his stupidity, telling Zarbon that unless he finds Vegeta and brings him back alive, that's what will happen to him.

Milverton however says that he has a number of other people that he's blackmailing (or will blackmail in the near future), and her public disgrace will only increase their willingness to pay.

The Man in the High Castle: In season 2, when the Nazis prepare to invade the Japanese Empire, Obergruppenfuehrer John Smith's post is reinforced by SS troops from Germany to deal with the mounting resistance movement on the east coast. His new subordinate, Gruppenfuehrer Keller, advises to raze a town of 80,000 people where resistance activity is highest. Smith says he'll take him up on his suggestion, then immediately countermands the order when Keller leaves the room.
