Title: The Future Development of Death Penalty in China
Abstract: At the present stage, the function of deterrence and prevention of death penalty is widely doubted. In China, death penalty is not the most effective tool against severe crimes; more scientific criminal policies should be sought and made. The mis\|judge of death penalty has fatal and dual harmfulness. It not only confers sadness and mortification to the innocent, but also besmirches the image the state judgment. The application of death penalty should embody the will of the people by law, but not distort the stipulation of the law in order to meet some people’s wrath. The future trend of death penalty will be that greatly reduce the application of it then abolish it ultimately.
