| It has become a global tide to limit and abolish the death penalty in modern criminal policy movement. The preservation or the abolition of the death penalty doesn't rely on the justice/ injustice or the overawing of itself, which are unable to be argued clearly. Rather, this is an issue of policy choice decided substantially by the public recognition of collective consciousness and the political will of political leaders. T he general recognition of collective consciousness has provides legitimate resource to the death penalty, yet the collective consciousness is a contradictory being with sides, such as sense and sensibility, conscious and sub- conscious, rationality and irrationality, justice and injustice interlaced. Political leaders should respect and reflect the public opinions, still, be good at understanding and leading public opinions, thus to make scientific decisions about death penalty with their political wisdoms, making the death penalty policy, death penalty system and the application of death penalty become a rational practice and a practical rationality. |
