当今世界,取消死刑已成为一种趋势,长期以来,我国一直通过刑法修正案,逐步缩小死刑的适用范围,从民意来看,广大市民对彻底废除死刑持否定态度。本文认为,目前彻底废除死刑确实不符合我国国情,应该逐步废止,对于社会影响及其恶劣,手段残忍的犯罪还应保留死刑。 In today’s world, the abolition of death penalty has become a trend. For a long time, our country has been through the amendment of criminal law, and gradually narrow the scope of the death penalty, from the public opinion, the general public on the total abolition of the death penalty to hold a negative attitude. This article believes that at present the total abolition of the death penalty does not accord with the national conditions of our country and should be abolished step by step. We should also keep the death penalty for the social impact and its harsh and cruel crimes.
