Abstract


At present, many countries around the world have abolished the death penalty or no longer impose the death penalty, while China
still maintains a relatively high scale of death sentences relative to these countries; in practice, the death penalty has many problems, such as
undermining human rights and leading to the irreparable harm of unjust and false convictions, etc. As China’s socialist rule of law and the
study of human rights develop, the question of whether or not to abolish the death penalty, and whether or not China can develop a system
that can replace the death penalty, will also need to be further researched in depth.
