This is something you should ask your law professor.

It couldn't lead to more crime because it is a self defense statute and self defense isn't a crime. By having the opinion that it causes more crime it would have to be that persons opinion that the world is full of vigilantes who are looking just to kill people and get away with it. The law doesn't work that way as it is subjective and a judge or jury must thoroughly examine the facts to determine if self defense was reasonable.
