摘　　要："慎用死刑"是契合我国社会发展和法治进步的必然选择。它不仅强调死刑适用的合理性、节制性,还强调死刑适用的慎重性与不得已性,并侧重于对死刑审判的质量提出要求。为切实贯彻慎用死刑之政策,需要在严格掌握死刑适用标准的基础上,合理衡量案件情节,以罪中情节作为决定死刑适用与否的首要依据,以罪前、罪后情节作为其必要补充,并适当参酌舆情民意,努力追求法律效果与社会效果的有机统一。＇The prudent application of the death penalty＇ is an evitable choice against the background of social development and the progress of the rule of law.It does not only highlight the rationality and restriction of the application of the death penalty,but also stresses the prudence and no alterative nature of the application of the death penalty.Furthermore,it lays special emphasis on requirements for the quality of death penalty trail.With a view to thoroughly carrying out the policy of the prudent application of the death penalty,it is necessary to reasonably examine the details of cases on the basis of strictly complying with the standard of death penalty application.In addition,we shall take the criminal circumstances during crimes as the prime criterion of applying the death penalty as well as the criminal circumstances prior to and after crimes as supplementary considerations.In the meantime,public opinion needs to be appropriately considered so as to endeavor to pursue the harmonious unification of legal effect and social effect.
