Zusammenfassung
China, by any reckoning, has the highest number of executions in the world amongst death penalty retentionist countries, and the highest number of crimes that attract the death penalty. This fact is of a pressing concern to the international human rights community and increasingly also of concern within China. Part of the difficulty in understanding and analysing China's use of the death penalty has been the lack of solid and reliable information. The actual number of executions remains a state secret and any empirical research is consequently problematic. The objective of the study was therefore to shed light on the problems experienced by criminal defence councils when defending capital crime cases and to generate information on how death penalty cases are processed through the Chinese system of justice as well as the key determinants of the outcomes. One of the consequences that can be drawn on the basis of the results of the study presented here concerns the rapid and sustained development of a "culture of criminal defence".
