论死刑之存在

最高人民法院收回死刑核准权,死刑案件二审开庭审理,这些严格控制死刑的举措都是在死刑领域贯彻宽严相济的刑事政策中“宽”的要求,“宽”与现在倡导的“和谐社会”的理念是吻合的。死刑在我国相当长的一段时期内存在,这是宽严相济的刑事政策中“严”的要求,我国的国情要求死刑的存在,死刑的成本并不高昂,自由刑的成本超过死刑。

On Existence of Death Penalty in Our Country

The acts of strict control death penalty such as Supreme People’s Court recalling death penalty approval right, and death penalty case retrying, are all ＂mercy＂ expression of carrying out the criminal policy of ‘Tempering Justice with Mercy’ in death penalty, which is consistent with the idea of harmonious society. The death penalty has existed in our country for a long time, which is the justice demand of ＇Tempering Justice with Mercy＇, and is also the need of our national conditions. The death penalty cost is not expensive, while the cost of free punishment exceeds a death penalty.
