抢劫罪适用死刑的司法控制

法理上将抢劫罪区分为基本类型的抢劫罪、结果加重类型的抢劫罪与情节加重类型的抢劫罪,这种划分符合我国刑法关于抢劫罪死刑设置的原意,且更有利于运用加重构成理论以及其未遂形态来限制死刑的适用。在司法实践中,适用死刑必须严格遵守死刑程序用尽原则。在对抢劫罪进行死刑司法控制时,应遵循罪刑法定原则,综合考虑犯罪嫌疑人的犯罪手段、犯罪动机、犯罪对象等,同时必须考虑其是否存在酌定量刑情节,通过刑事和解结案,不仅可以有效缓解社会矛盾,而且还可以起到限制死刑的作用。

Judicial Control over Death Penalty on Robberies in China

Modem jurisprudence divides robberies into three types, namely robbery, aggravated robbery and armed robbery. This division is in accordance with the original intent of death penalty definition in China＇s criminal law system, and is more conductive to the use of aggravated theory as well as its attempted form in order to limit the application of death penalty. In judicial practice, applications of death penalty must be in strict compliance with pro- cedures of death penalty to the principle of exhaustion. Judicial control of robber crimes should follow the principle of legality, accounting the suspect＇ s criminal means, the motive of the crime, criminal objects, and the possibility of dis- cretionary sentencing. Jurisdiction decisions through reconciliation not only can alleviate social contradictions, but can also contribute to restriction of death penalty.
