死刑又称生命刑是剥夺犯罪分子生命的刑罚方法。在中国漫长而又血腥的刑法史中死刑占有重要地位,而它在我国现有刑罚体系中也难以替代,这一切决定了我国死刑的废止道路是曲折的。 Death penalty, also known as life penalty is the method of deprivation of criminals’ lives. In the long and bloody history of criminal law in China, the death penalty occupies an important position, which is also difficult to replace in the existing penal system in our country. All this determines that the abolition of death penalty in our country is tortuous.
