网络民主重塑警察合法性的价值辨析

Value Analysis on Cyber Democracy Restructuring Police Legitimacy

网络民主作为信息技术时代的民主新形态,乐观者认为能够有效推动政治民主的广度与深度,技术民主的增量发展是政府民主治理的理想策略选择;悲观者认为需警惕网络民主因过分倚赖技术而加重不平等。在中国,网络民主与警察合法性良性互动。网络民主重构与警察执法相关的政策议程,助推警察执法制度改革,推动社会力量参与警察执法监督,提升警察执法的公平正义。然而,警察被网络"污名化"的社会心理怪象、警察舆情应对的被动与迟钝、制度化民主渠道的受阻,也加重了网络民主对警察合法性的破坏性作用。

Cyber democracy has become a new model of democracy in information and technology era. Optimists argue that it effectively improves the scope and depth of political democracy, and that it is more feasible for political governance to promote the incremental development of cyber democracy. Pessimists argue that cyber democracy may strengthen inequality because of too much dependence on technology. In China, cyber democracy has benign interactions with police legitimacy, such as rebuilding police agendas relating to law enforcement, pushing forward the reform of law enforcement system, promoting citizens＇ involvement in supervision and improving the justiceof law enforcement.However,the reality is worth considering. Somesocial mentality of police stigmatization, police＇s passiveness and inactionin dealing with crisisand the blocking of institutional democracy all lead to more damage of eyber democracy on police legitimacy.
