Title: On the Problems and Perfection of the Imposition of Life Imprisonment in China——From the Perspective of the Criminal Policy of "Combining Punishment with Leniency"
Abstract: At present,there are a good many cases in China where the imposition of life imprisonment does not meet the criminal policy of combining punishment with leniency.For example,owing to the severe criminal punishment structure,there are too many criminal charges related to life imprisonment.Sometimes,life imprisonment is applied to criminal negligence and minor offence cases;and sometimes,juvenile delinquency cases also choose life imprisonment as a sanction.In this regard,the penalty structure of China should be optimized so as to prohibit the application of life imprisonment to criminal negligence or juvenile delinquency cases.
