Abstract: The issue of law-enforcement credibility of new-type urbanization in China attracts much attention. Whether we can enhance the law-enforcement credibility is related to the success of the new-type urbanization. Currently, law-enforcement credibility remains low and public distrust law enforcement institution, which have largely affected the effectiveness of law-enforcement. In the process of promoting new-type urbanization, we should define the concept of law-enforcement credibility and analyze the reasons for lack of credibility in the process of new-type urbanization. Furthermore, we should propose the measures to improve the law-enforcement credibility, aiming to promote new-type urbanization to a new level.
Key words: new-type urbanization; law-enforcement; law-enforcement credibility
一、执法公信力的概念
“执法”一词古来有之,《东周列国志》记载,“东皋公曰:‘此将军为朝廷执法,老夫何怪之有”,可见我国古代执法一词有执行或执掌法令的含义。现阶段,执法有广义和狭义之分,广义的执法,是指一切执行和适用法律的活动。狭义的执法,则专指国家行政机关和法律授权、委托的组织及其公职人员行使职权、实施法律的活动。[1]此处讨论的执法指狭义的执法。
“公信力”一词源于公共管理学科,《现代汉语词典》的解释是:“使公众信任的力量”。执法既包含执法机关通过职权活动在社会中建立的公共信用,也包含着公众对执法行为的信任。据此,执法公信力是指公众信赖执法机关的执法行为及其结果,并自觉服从其执法行为和结果的一种状态和社会现象。
