中文摘要:

2009 年至2016 年臺灣發生多起隨機殺人事件，國人又激起死刑存廢的爭議。死刑的研究在古今中外皆有深厚的學術成果，但是理性思考近年隨機殺人事件背後的問題原因，個人殺人動機當然也有，其實很多是國家政策結構的因素。雖然在國家政策隨著國際公約與國際潮流的方向發展，國家也必須反省相關政策上的缺失，而不是只是把焦點放在死刑廢除與否的爭議上。參考近年國外文獻顯示，廢除死刑幾乎可說是國際潮流。國際特赦組織統計2007 年至2012 年間80 個國家的死刑執行數，其中，有34 個國家繼續死刑占總數的42.5％，而46 個「沒有執行死刑」的國家占總數的57.5％，所以還有將近一半的國家繼續死刑，其中包含中國、日本和美國。對民主國家來說，民意基礎確實是國家政策的參考，但不是隨著民意改變國家政策方向，隨機殺人事件產生了許多爭議，除了國際人權公約與國際潮流的影響外，本研究主要針對「明定故意殺害12 歲以下孩童增訂唯一死刑」、「死刑嚇阻的功能」、「反對廢死與民粹主義」、「人權公約與廢除死刑的推論」、「廢除死刑與替代方案」、「死刑存廢與公民投票」六個死刑政策的爭議點提供些許的建議，希冀透過理性思維探討爭議以作為國家政策的參考。
