（页数：17 字数：14565 毕业论文）摘 要：死刑是最严厉的一种刑罚制度，死刑又称生命刑，是以剥夺人的生命为内容的一种刑罚制度，其在刑法的刑罚体系中占据着重要地位,一直受到历代历朝统治者的青睐。然而，自200多年前，意大利著名法学家贝卡利亚在其代表作《论刑罚与犯罪》一书中，首次明确提出死刑制度相对于人类文明的不合理性，由此引起了近现代法学们激烈的争论，对于死刑问题，学界存在两种观点，保留死刑和废除死刑，在废除死刑成为一种潮流和趋势的时候，我国选择保留死刑，是我国历史发展的必然继承与发展，符合我国基本国情，存置死刑在我国有着浓厚的社会土壤和深厚的人文环境，因此在一个相当长的时间里我国将选择保留死刑，但一定会严格限制死刑的适用。本文拟通过对我国死刑制度的现状进行介绍和分析,以期对我国的死刑制度形成一个相对全面的认识,进而对现行死刑制度进行一些有益的思考,寄希望于对我国的死刑制度的完善有所裨益。
具体来说，本文第一部分从死刑的定义，死刑的基本特征，死刑的功能三个方面阐述了我国死刑制度的内涵和功能，使读者对我国的死刑制度有一个清晰的认识。第二部分先综述我国建国以来的死刑立法特点，进而通过对三个阶段和两个《刑法典》的阐述，使我国有关死刑的立法进程清晰可见。第三部分叙述了我国死刑制度现阶段存在的主要问题，通过仔细阅读刑法学界的研究、看法、观点，提出了解决这些问题的立法方面。第四部分综述了我国死刑制度的司法现状、主要问题、以及针对这些问题的对策和立法、司法、司法解释的完善。第五部分通过对全文的高度概括，结合国内外死刑制度的实际情况，指出了我国现阶段死刑制度存在的必然和必然向前发展的客观真理。
本文在限制死刑方面，着重从立法上、司法上、程序上、监督上和死刑缓期执行制度等方面进行一系列的限制，从而达到慎用死刑的目的，通过本文的论述，以求对我国的死刑制度形成一个相对全面的认识，进而对现行死刑制度进行一些有益的思考。由于本人学识有限，不足之处，尚请见谅。

引 言
死刑是一个古老且永恒的话题，与中华文明一路同行，在风风雨雨中经历了五千多年的发展，受封建残余思想的影响，人们已经习惯并适应了死刑的存在，死刑观念已经深深地植根于国民的意识之中。自从200多年前意大利著名的法学家贝卡利亚在《论犯罪与刑法》中首次对死刑的存在提出了质疑，引起了法学界的关注和讨论，当今世界，绝大部分国家和地区业已在法律上废除死刑或者在事实上不运用死刑[ ]，有的国家尽管仍然保留有关死刑的法律的条款，但是已经有几十年没有使用过死刑。
