限制死刑适用是当前我国的一项司法政策。作为死刑适用标准的“罪行极其严重”也应受到最严格的解释。该标准要求极其严重应指行为人主观恶性与客观危害性的极其严重;其中评价主观恶性的要素包括犯罪故意、犯罪动机、行为方式和悔罪表现等;评价客观危害性的要素包括触犯的罪名、危害结果等。 Limiting the application of the death penalty is currently a judicial policy of our country. As a standard of application of the death penalty, “crimes are extremely serious ” should also be the most stringent explanation. The criterions of the standard should mean the seriousness of the perpetrator’s subjective viciousness and objective danger. The elements that evaluate the subjective viciousness include intentional crime, criminal motive, behavior way and penitence manifestation. The elements that evaluate the objective harmfulness include offenses of offenses, Endanger the result and so on.
