A probation system of death penalty can lie halfway between death penalty and life sentence. Since grotesque and crude murder cases continually happen in Korea, it is difficult to abolish death penalty right now. We need to introduce the probation system of death penalty, which may be regarded as an interim stage for abolishment of death penalty. I have investigated the current death penalty system in China and found the following problems: There are many kinds of crimes punishable by death penalty, the appropriate condition is not shown to apply the probation system of death penalty, and the number of execution is the largest in the world. However, the probation system of death penalty has the following advantages: It is a humanistic system to head for the return to society, a positive effect of correction can be anticipated during the probation, and danger of misjudgement can be minimized. Moreover, in regard to the probation system of death penalty, I have explored a range of probation judgement, the probation period, the screening procedures of application, and the cases of remission.
