中文摘要：

多年來我國對於死刑存廢爭論不休，政府因應此問題，而有推動死刑量刑之變革。先有「最高法院 95 年臺上字第6565號判決」提示死刑量刑應考量被告復歸社會之可能，2009 年制定《兩公約施行法》確立應保障人權及生命權等之要旨，再有「最高法院刑事判決 102年度臺上字第170 號」與「最高法院刑事判決 102年度臺上字第5251 號」確立對判處死刑量刑，需先對被告進行「教化可能性」評估，以強化死刑量刑品質，慎重運用死刑刑罰。
由於「教化可能性」評估實施已有多年，本研究透過篩檢 2015-2018年間殺人案件判決書共32 案之歷審判決書，分析「教化可能性」實務運作內容，並透過關鍵分析，以紮根理論方式進行標籤與歸納獲得三大範疇:「教化可能性之目的與定義」:如兩公約生命權保障等；「給予教化之要件」:如再犯可能性等；「其他考量」:如社會輿論等。另外，死刑、改判死刑與改判無期徒刑等案件，審判者與不同領域學者在前述範疇之偏重與差異，分析發現「教化可能性」尚未形成一致準則，同時審判過程預期被告未來教化成效，亦有待建立整體矯正個別化實務運作策略。
總體而言，在慎用死刑刑罰之刑事政策，透過「教化可能性」之評估運作，死刑量刑有朝向給予被告未來教化機會，研究者建議「教化可能性」評估之運作，仍須就「教化可能性」形成共識，建立一致準則。另外，審判過程即有教化性質，審判者亦有期許實務教化矯正機關個別化處遇之見解，審判與矯正在實務教化共作的延續性，將有利於個別化教化的落實。

英文摘要：

Abolishing the death penalty has been a long-standing debate in Taiwan. In responding to the controversy, a series of death penalty sentencing reform began to work both on legislation and Supreme Court, which can be highlighted as follows: (1) ruling by Supreme Court case of 95 Tai Sun 6565, to impose the death penalty sentencing shall consider the possibility of the defendant returning to society. (2) according to the article 6, paragraph 2 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), human rights as well
as life to right shall be valued, to fulfill the Law of the Two Conventions, (3) ruling by Supreme Court two cases, 102 Tai Sun 170 and 102 Tai Sun 5251, death penalty sentencing should only be imposed to the most serious crimes. In addition, the defendant must be
proved to lack the “Possibility for Rehabilitation.” Taiwan is toward banishing the death penalty through a stricter sentencing procedure.
The researcher analyzes the application of the “Possibility for Rehabilitation” through screening thirty-two homicide verdict cases between 2015 and 2018. The research is conducted by utilizing Grounded Theory. After these data is collected and re-reviewed, the data first is encoded with grouped concepts, which are further divided into three categories: the Definition and Intention of the Possibility for Rehabilitation, the
Prerequisites for Conducting the Possibility for Rehabilitation, and Additional Considerations.
In sum, the effectiveness of the criminal policy and the judicial procedure reforms for the death penalty have brought more awareness on the assessment of the Possibility for Rehabilitation, aiming to give the defendant an opportunity to develop a more hopeful future.
The researcher suggests that the consensus toward the concepts of the Possibility for Rehabilitation requires further dialogue among the judge, scholars, and DOC. An
individualized correction plan with practical application strategies which follow the three categorized concepts, needs to be fulfilled by a close collaboration between the court and the correction agency as one.
