摘要

马来西亚的死刑是英国殖民时期遗留下来的,最近受到了严格审查。虽然《1957年马来西亚联邦宪法》规定,"除依法外,不得剥夺任何人的生命或人身自由",但有几种刑事罪行(包括与毒品有关的罪行)可判处强制性和酌情判处死刑。利用本福德和斯诺的框架过程,本文通过分析废除主义者和保留主义者的修辞来回顾马来西亚的死刑政治。由维权律师和非政府组织组成的废奴主义者倾向于使用“人权”和“不公正”的框架,使“罪犯”人性化,并获得国际支持。持保留态度的人,比如受害者家属,使用“受害者正义”的框架来强调暴力犯罪的“不人道”本质。此外,保留主义国家在“国家安全”和“国家发展”框架之间转换。本文发现,马来西亚的死刑政治主要是一种框架政治。

Framing Death Penalty Politics in Malaysia
The death penalty in Malaysia is a British colonial legacy that has undergone significant scrutiny in recent times. While the Malaysian Federal Constitution 1957 provides that ‘no person shall be deprived of his life or personal liberty save in accordance with law’, there are several criminal offences (including drug-related crimes) that impose the mandatory and discretionary death penalty. Using Benford and Snow’s framing processes, this paper reviews death penalty politics in Malaysia by analysing the rhetoric of abolitionists and retentionists. The abolitionists, comprising activist lawyers and non-government organisations, tend to use ‘human rights’ and ‘injustice’ frames, which humanise the ‘criminal’ and gain international support. The retentionists, such as victims’ families, use a ‘victims’ justice’ frame emphasising the ‘inhuman’ nature of violent crimes. In addition, the retentionist state shifts between ‘national security’ and ‘national development’ frames. This paper finds that death penalty politics in Malaysia is predominantly a politics of framing.
