摘　　要：刑法修正案(八)增加了关于老年人犯罪减免刑罚的规定,这项规定有其充分的合理依据。它体现了刑法的公正性,并非将老年人犯罪轻刑化;对老年人犯罪减免刑罚和刑罚一般预防的目的并不冲突;审判的时候已满七十五周岁的人,不适用死刑,以特别残忍手段致人死亡的除外,这一点符合死刑限制论和刑罚个别化的理论;对老年人犯罪减免刑罚符合宽严相济的刑事司法政策。The Amendment IV to Criminal Law of the People＇ s Republic of China adds the article to commute a sentence for senior citizens, which is reasonable and sound. It shows the fairness of criminal law, meanwhile shows no light punishment to senior citizen crime. It is in agreement with the theory of common precaution of punishment. The article that at the time of trial, when the criminal is seventy - five years of age or more, it is not suitable to apply the death penalty, except for death with particularly ruthless means, which is in agreement with the theory of limiting death penalty and the individualization of penalty. The regulation on elderly crime penalty provisions of exemption embodies temper justice with mercy criminal justice policy.
