This is likely to make him feel ashamed if you treat him well, for it is likely that he will be ashamed of his actions toward you and stop causing you harm. Yes.

but whoever pardons and makes reconciliation - his reward is [due] from Allah
فَمَنْ عَفَا وَأَصْلَحَ فَأَجْرُهُ عَلَى اللَّهِAnd not equal are the good deed and the bad. Repel [evil] by that [deed] which is better
وَلَا تَسْتَوِي الْحَسَنَةُ وَلَا السَّيِّئَةُ ادْفَعْ بِالَّتِي هِيَ أَحْسَنُ
