| Public petition reform is the strategic deployment for public security authorities to practice the rule of law and impetus the legalization of letters and visits. Meanwhile, this transformation of current operation mode and mechanism is a crucial path for petition work to be administrated by law. Since May,2013, in light of deployment from higher judicial authority, the public security bureau in Shenyang has carried out massive practice and exploration in the field of "legal appeal and petition separation", letters and visits management process specification and proper guidance on recursive petition for complainants. During this improvement, issues such as thought, implementation and associated mechanisms restrain "legal appeal and petition separation" from reaching its expected outcome.The material of this paper is drawn on domestic scholars’ viewpoint of limiting petition relief function and advanced experience concerning police compliant mechanism in development countries. The goal and direction of the petition reform of public security authority are projected afterwards. Writer uses all available 2015 letters and visits matter within Shenyang Municipal Public Security Bureau as sample, interviews persons in charge of petition department from 15 districts in Shenyang, and issues 600 questionnaires to letter-writers and visitors. This paper is a comprehensive investigation on the existing problems which Shenyang Public Security Bureau is confronted with. Based on qualitative and quantitative analysis, writer analyzes the current existing problem and discovers the root causes that impede petition reform in the city. The solution is drawn after utilizing empirical analysis to demonstrate the feasibility of the scheme and it can also be a reference for rational proposal for subsequent work.This paper states that the public security reform is not a short-term project and is already on the track. In the on-going operation of Shenyang Municipal Public Security Bureau, there exist 9 blocking factors that limit case acceptance, legal guidance, subsidiary mechanism and the adopted measures. The present system is not fully adapted to the actual situation of petition matters at Shenyang public security bureau. The problem is mainly derived from the indistinct thinking orientation, human choices, and external adverse factors. To solve the problems, we need to build up standard operating procedures as the core of the approach, explicit the function of petition work, remold the goal of "initial state’ of petition work, create a good operating environment in advance. In the meanwhile, we should turn the petition achievements view around, downward move focus of the reform, improve the operating mechanism and the external environment etc. When carrying out the reform, we should not only comprehensively manage the situation but also detail oriented. |
