Electric fences need to be properly grounded otherwise you will not get enough voltage going through to act as a deterrent. Regular maintenance is essential (replacing fence wires for example).While the concrete is also useless, to be fair the electric fence is too. Most people i know who's houses were robbed had electric fences. They were either cut, bypassed or etc. Other than triggering an alarm, their voltage is useless.
I do my own electric fence maintenance and it is extremely well grounded (not just with copper spikes).
