摘 要: 死刑替代措施就是在不适用死刑的情况下应该采取的、用来代替死刑的刑罚方法。死刑替代措施应以现行刑罚体系为基础,以废除或限制死刑实际适用为前提进行考察,选择能够直接担当"最严厉"法定刑角色,保持足够的威慑力的刑种。死缓不是刑罚种类意义上的死刑替代措施;不得假释的终身监禁不符合"人总是可以改造的"的基本理念;无期徒刑是中国刑罚体系中仅次于死刑的刑种,蕴含有较强的威慑力,通过适当改良,能够产生足够的类似于死刑的威慑力。作为替代死刑的方法,设置无期徒刑先予关押期是上乘选择。考察无期徒刑在有期徒刑与死刑中的衔接地位,借鉴国外实际执行无期徒刑的经验,确定10年的先予关押期较为适宜。 Alternatives of capital punishment refer to the punitive devices adopted to replace death penalty. As such, the alternatives, serving as the "severest penalty" of sufficient deterrence, should be anchored on modern penology logics and premised on abolition or restraint of death penalty. Death penalty reprieve, in the sense of penology cannot be deemed a sort of alternative. And life imprisonment without parole is also inconsistent with the idea that "man could be corrected. " In China, llfe sentence is the severest punishment apart from death which, if reformed appropriately, will have as much deterrent effect as capital punishment. It is of great importance to fix a minimum term before granting clemency. By reference of foreign experiences, a 10 years minimum term is held the choice.
