贪污贿赂犯罪应否适用死刑的民意调查报告——基于武汉市的社会调查

The Investigation Report on Public Opinion of the Death Penalty Charged in Embezzlement and Bribery——Take Wuhan as an Example

目前关于贪污贿赂犯罪死刑民意的专门性研究很少,通过实证调查分析发现,贪污贿赂犯罪死刑民意是民众表层情绪与深层社会意识的统一,前者决定其具有不稳定性、可变性,存在抽象民意与具体民意的冲突;后者主要由民众长时间形成的传统的报应正义观念决定,这也是抽象民意形成的决定性因素;贪污贿赂犯罪状况对该类犯罪死刑民意的影响也不容忽视的。要真正实现引导,必须从外在的现实性因素和内在的深层因素同时着手。

So far,there are few special studies on public opinion of death penalty for embezzlement and bribery. The poll shows that the public idea towards this point is the unity of individuals’ mood and social consciousness. The former is inconstant and can lead to dispute of opinions between abstract and specific situation;the latter is formed from traditional retributive justice,which is the crucial point of abstract public attitude. The embezzlement and corruption also have a deep influence on the public opinion. So we have to take powerful measures to reframe,reduce and restrict the criminal rules to enhance the credibility of the government while the old penalty conception in people‘s mind must be changed according to the new viewpoint of prevention first.
