论我国的死缓制度.docx

PAGE 2 PAGE 2 内容摘要 死刑缓期执行(以下简称“死缓”)，是我国独创的一种刑罚制度，其设定目的在于使一些罪该处死的犯罪分子在具备特定情形时有条件地不被处死，因此该制度在减少处决罪犯的数量上起到了重要的历史性作用。 本文通过探究死缓制度的渊源来考查我国死缓制度产生、存在和发展的合理因素。并通过对死缓制度与缓刑的区别论述，进一步说明死缓不是一种缓刑。 我国死缓制度在立法和司法实践中存在诸多需要解决的问题，本文揭示了死缓制度存在的一些缺陷并有针对性的提出相应完善建议和构想，希望能为我国死缓制度的发展及对死刑的限制尽一些绵薄之力。 关键词：死缓 发展 缓刑 缺陷 完善 PAGE 2 PAGE 1 目 录 前言············································································································································1 一、死缓制度概述··················································································································1 (一) 死缓制度的历史发展过程·························································································1(二) 死缓制度的概念、特征及其适用条件····································································3 二、死缓是不是一种缓刑·····································································································5 三、死缓制度的完善·············································································································7 (一) 现行死缓制度的缺陷··································································································7(二) 完善死缓制度的构想··································································································9 四、结论···································································································································12参考文献·································································································································14 前言 死缓制度即死刑缓期两年执行制度(以下简称“死缓”)是依附于死刑的一种刑罚执行方法,也是我国独创的一种刑罚制度,其设定目的在于使一些罪该处死的犯罪分子在具备特定情形时有条件地不被处死,从而在总体上限制和减少死刑的实际适用。实践证明,死缓制度在我国教育改造罪犯过程中,起了积极的效果。同时在体现我国“慎刑少杀”的刑事政策方面发挥了举足轻重的作用。但死缓制度也存在着许多缺陷,缺乏科学性、合理性和公平性。这使得死缓制度的优越性难以充分发挥。因此，死缓制度还需进一步的完善。 在新的历史条件下，如何全面认识死缓制度，有效利用死缓制度以使其发挥新的历史使命，这已成为死缓制度研究的重要内容。 一、死缓制度概述 死缓,即死刑缓期执行,其完整表述为“判处死刑同时宣告缓期二年执行”。我国刑法第48条规定:“对于应当判处死刑的犯罪分子,如果不是必须立即执行的,可以判处死刑同时宣告缓期二年执行。”死缓制度具有鲜明的中国特色,是我国在刑事司法领域的一大创举,在过去的年代中,死缓在司法实践中取得了很好效果。 (一) 死缓制度的历史发展过程
