Public faith in the police :
59% of the public expressed confidence in their local police
Support of police but lack of confidence in the court system
Police of China In jural countries,only the court can make the fin
al judgement,while in China,the police can interfere it.
Chinese police has the big power in punishment (take sb into custody for a long time)
Power is borrowed -- in rural area ,collect taxes,birth control .. .
Low income,work overtime World average 35 : 1000 China 12 : 1000 (even lower) Lack of independent supervision organization Terrible,annoying,lack of confidence,,,
conclusion Experts found out that the society is the origin that the
crime is committed,the public is the main force to suppress the crime,not the police.
That’s why 80% of the works of British police include helping/associating(with) the communities
Independent supervision system, follow rules strictly, help to build the trust and confidence
Attitude towards Chinese police is changing :Slogan : if you have any problem,please call 110
Thank you !
