论西方警务改革的后现代性特征

西方警务改革的后现代性特征表现为多元性、开放性、解构性、社会化等。社区警务的概念随着后现代社会的发展而得到复苏,其优势在于激活共同保护社区的集体责任,并增强邻里之间的互动和改善警民之间的隔阂。同时,新公共管理的核心理念影响着警务模式的改革,政府机构规模追求小型化和灵活性,通过下放决策权与财政支配权来增强基层单位的权责一体化;将社会市场方法引入执法机构,借以增进警务效率;逐渐剥离警察的边缘职能,让渡给社会或其他组织来承担。这意味着原先被政府垄断的警察权开始由社会进行分享。

On the Post-modernity Characteristics of the Western Police Reform

The post-modernity of the western police reform is characterized by pluralism,openness,deconstructionism,socialization,etc.The concept of community policing is recovered with the development of post-modern society,and its advantage is to activate the collective responsibility to protect the community,enhance the neighborhood interaction and eliminate the gap between police and the community.Meanwhile,the core concept of new public management also affects the patterns of police reform.Government organizations pursue miniaturization and flexibility,strengthening the integration of power and responsibility at grass-roots levels by decentralizing decision-making power and financial power;social market methods are introduced into law enforcement agencies so as to improve police efficiency;margin functions of the police are gradually divested and shared by social or others organizations.All these mean that the police power,previously monopolized by the government,begins to be shared by the society.
