The Functions of Social Forces in Maintaining Public Security after the Independence of Suhzou

苏州在"光复"前,社会动乱,民不聊生;"光复"后,社会力量积极响应政府的号召,维护社会安定。绅商成立民团、巷团,轮流出巡;学校成立学团,在夜间巡街;苏州商会下属的苏州商团,协助军警维持治安。在社会变革的关键时期,这些社会力量配合政府维护了社会的安定,保证了变革的顺利进行。

The society was very unstable before the independence of Suzhou. After the independence of Suzhou, social forces act actively. In response to the government＇s call, the vigilantes and lane groups were established under the leadership of the merchants, which took turns to patrol the streets. Study groups were established by schools. The students patrolled the streets at night. Suzhou businesses were armed with firearms to assist the police to maintain public security. Social forces maintained social stability to ensure the implementation of the reform during the key period of social transformation.
