Crowe, writing in his latest column for website ESPNcricinfo, called for the introduction of yellow and red cards in cricket, to help fix a discipline problem that has got out of hand.
"There is a growing concern that David Warner's thuggish behaviour has gone too far," wrote Crowe. "Soon one day it will lead to an incident that will sully the game for good.
"Fining these serial offenders is not going to work. You have to take them out of the game for extended periods. Two yellow cards should result in a red card, which should ban any player for six months. This is the only way it will be dealt with. My concern in the immediate future will be that Warner will be in the centre of an ugly on-field fight during the upcoming World Cup.
"Warner can play, but he is the most juvenile cricketer I have seen on a cricket field. I don't care how good he is: if he continues to show all those watching that he doesn't care, he must be removed, either by Cricket Australia or definitely by the world governing body," Crowe said in his column.
"The more he gets away with it, the more others will follow his pitiful actions. Already we see one or two of his team-mates enjoying being close to his hideous energy."
The former New Zealand skipper, who averaged 45.36 during his 77-test career, questioned how opposition were expected to respond to verbal attacks from the likes of Warner.
"The ICC is doing good things pulling in chuckers and match-fixers. Now they have a new problem brewing and Warner is leading the charge. If chuckers and match-fixers are shown the door, then so too must verbal abusers be, Crowe said in his column.
"Let's demand that if any cricketer gets two yellow cards during a six-month period then they are out for six months following. It's the only way to kill a hornet's nest and get this game back in a groove of respect."
