论死刑存废的应然趋势与实然选择

On the Trend and Choice of Reservation or Abolishment of Death Penalty

从死刑制度发展的应然趋势角度来看,废除死刑是刑罚人道主义思想的必然产物,是司法进步,社会发展的必由之路。从实然性角度来看,废除死刑的过程是漫长而曲折的,不能一蹴而就,这一过程应是循序渐进的,应充分考虑现实的国情与民众接受程度。关于我国现行死刑制度的存废,应持否定的态度,走限制——减少——废除死刑之路,目前,应从立法、司法两方面对死刑进行限制适用。

From the development of death penalty system, abolishing the death penalty is the inevitable outcome of the humanist thought, is the progress ofjustice, and is the only way for the development of society. From the matter of fact, the process of abolishing the death penalty is long and tortuous and can＇t be accomplished in an action. Ac- cording to the reality of the situation and public acceptance, the process should be gradual. The death penalty in our country should be abolished, which can adopt the measures of legislation and justice from limiting the quantity of death penalty to abolishing it eventually.
