摘要死刑作为目前我国最为严厉的刑罚方法，最终目的是剥夺犯罪分子的生命，以此作为惩罚，我国死刑分为死刑立即执行和死刑缓期两年执行两种。近几年来，死刑不论在国内还是在国际上一直是讨论的热点问题，目前许多国家废除了死刑这一刑罚方法，并且国际上的共识是减少死刑，我们国家的态度也是如此。为了减少死刑立即执行的适用同时能够达到对暴力性犯罪的教育改造目的，我国《中华人民共和国（刑法修正案八）》设立了死刑缓期执行限制减刑制度，于2011年5月1日起正式施行。由于目前我国刑罚制度的特点为死刑过重，生刑过轻，自由刑与死刑衔接不恰当。死刑缓期执行限制减刑制度的设立恰好缓解了死刑过重，生刑过轻，自由刑与死刑衔接不恰当的局面。并且有利于我国刑罚体制制度的完善，也有利于我国社会主义法治体系的完善，对于社会安定、稳定、和谐与司法公平公正都有积极的作用。死缓限制减刑制度实施以来，必然会暴露一些弊端，所有事物不是十全十美的，在此项制度适用对象、适用范围方面、法官在审判过程中自由裁量权的大小以及此项制度的救济措施等，应当在此项制度投入司法实践的同时，发现并解决此类问题。本课题共分为五个部分，第一部分阐述死缓限制减刑基本概况，包括含义、产生的背景原因、适用价值。第二部分介绍死缓限制减刑适用的条件，包括前提条件、对象条件、实质条件三个方面。第三部分对死缓限制减刑的具体适用进行探讨，通过对死缓限制减刑的实际适用来分析目前这一制度的利弊。第四部分将点出死缓限制减刑制度目前存在的问题。第五部分将针对第四部分存在的问题提出可行的对策。关键词：死缓；限制减刑；适用条件；完善；复权AbstractThedeathpenaltyisapenaltymethodfordeprivingcriminalsoftheirlives.ItisthemostseverepunishmentmethodinChinaandisdividedintotwotypes:theimmediateexecutionofthedeathpenaltyandtheexecutionofasuspendedsentenceoftwoyears.Inrecentyears,thedeathpenaltyhasbeenahotissuebothdomesticallyandinternationally.Atpresent,manycountrieshaveabolishedthepunishmentmethodofdeathpenalty,andtheinternationalconsensusistoreducethedeathpenalty.Thisisalsotheattitudeofourcountry.Inordertoreducetheimmediateapplicationofthedeathpenaltyandsimultaneouslyachievethepurposeofeducationandreformofviolentcrimes,China's"PenalCodeAmendmentEight"hasestablishedasystemofcommutationofcommutationofsuspendedsentenceofdeathpenalty,whichwillbeimplementedonMay1,2011..Duetothefactthatthepenaltysysteminourcountryischaracterizedbyexcessivedeathpenalty,toolittlepunishmentforexecution,andimproperconnectionbetweendeathpenaltyandfreepunishment.Theestablishmentofasuspendedpunishmentsystemforsuspendedexecutionofdeathpenaltyjustalleviatedthesituationthatthedeathpenaltywastooheavy,thebirthpenaltywastoolight,andtheconnectionbetweenfreepunishmentanddeathpenaltywasnotappropriate.ItisalsoconducivetotheperfectionofChina'spenalsystemanditisalsoconducivetotheimprovementofChina'ssocialistlegalsystem.Ithasapositiveeffectonsocialstability,stability,harmony,andfairnessandjustice.Thistopicisdividedintofiveparts.Thefirstpartdealswiththebasicoverviewofthecommutationofdeathpenaltyrestrictions,includingitsmeaning,backgroundreasons,andapplicablevalues.Thesecondpartintroducestheconditionsapplicabletothecommutationofdeathpenalty,includingthepreconditions,theobjectconditions,andthesubstantiveconditions.Thethirdpartdiscussesthespecificapplicationofthemitigationofdeathrestraint,andanalyzestheadvantagesanddisadvantagesofthepresentsystemthroughthepracticalapplicationofmitigationofdeathpenalty.Thefourthpartwillpointoutthecurrentproblemsinthesystemofmitigatingmitigationofdeathpenalty.Thefifthpartwillproposefeasiblecountermeasuresa...
