“搓麻”行为是否应完全纳入政府治理的范畴?——基于南充地区的分析

Should “Playing Mahjong” Be Fully Covered in Government Governance?——Study of Nanchong City

"搓麻"现象在我国随处可见,随着这一现象的兴起,很多学者都对此提出了顾虑,认为"麻将风"必须引起政府的高度重视,否则后果将不堪设想。本文以四川省南充市为例,以"搓麻"行为者为研究对象,通过问卷调查方式,并对采集数据利用SPSS15.0进行统计分析,结果发现:(1)"搓麻"行为普遍存在,缘于公民更多地将其定义为一种娱乐方式,将麻将作为消遣时间的一种工具;(2)"搓麻"行为对公民生活的影响并没有某些学者所指出的那般恶劣;(3)绝大部分公民能够理性地在"搓麻"行为与正常生活间做出选择。由此得出结论:"搓麻"行为大众化不是一个性质恶劣的社会问题,不应完全纳入政府治理的范畴。政府对"搓麻"行为的治理,除非民众将"搓麻"行为作为赌博方式,触犯了如"赌博罪"等刑法罪名,否则政府不宜加以干涉。

With the prevalence of ＂playing mahjong＂ , many scholars have expressed their concerns and advised that the government should take due measures to stop the ＂Mahjong Trend＂ from causing negative impacts. Through questionnaire surveys on mahjong players in Nanchong city, the author analyzed the data collected with SPSS 15.0. The results show that ＂Playing mahjong＂ is prevailing because most citizens are apt to regard it as a form of pastime; ＂playing mahjong＂ doesn＇ t have as bad effects on the citizens＇ life as some scholars have worried; the vast majority of citizens can make the right choice between ＂playing mahjong＂ and living the normal life. Therefore we can come to the conclusion that it is not necessary to put ＂playing mahjong＂ under full government governance. The government should not interfere in people＇ s playing mahjong unless they commit mahjong gambling.
