论死刑存废问题的实质

On the Hypostasis of the Question of Reservation or Abolishment of the Death Penalty

死刑废止论和死刑存置论都可以从对方的论据中找到支持自己观点的理由。之所以出现这些情况,很大程度上是因为在理论上没有准确界定死刑存废问题的实质。从现实中考察,全面废止死刑,往往受到民众报应观念、国家秩序观念的重大阻碍,给死刑的废止带来维持报应、社会治安、罪犯矫治等难题。以社会之角度来看,死刑是存还是废,取决于社会能否适应。

The theory on the abolishment of death penalty can find arguments from the analysis on the reservation of death penalty,and vice versa, The reason mainly lies on no accurate definition of the retention or abolition of the death penalty. In fact, the complcte abolishment of death pcnalty is baffled by the people conception of retribution and national conception of order and faces such difficult problems as keeping retribution, public security,and offenders＇ correction. Therefore the reservation or abolishment of death pcnalty is decided on the social adapability.
