The core value of the governance of any country or region is inseparable from the respect and protection of people's rights and interests, as well as the effective management of public affairs. However, in reality, in the process of management, there is a phenomenon of "substitution of punishment for management", that is, excessive reliance on administrative punishment means and neglect of substantive service management and education guidance. This approach is not only a shallow way of governance, but also a disregard for the subjective status and legitimate rights and interests of the people, and the result is often counterproductive, doomed to failure, and provokes strong resistance from the people.
First of all, what is reflected behind the use of penalties for escrow is the rigidity and short-sightedness of management thinking. The purpose of social governance is to create a harmonious and orderly social environment, protect the basic rights and interests of the people, and promote the maximization of public interests. However, over-reliance on hard penalties such as fines is essentially a kind of emergency management that does not touch the root of the problem and lacks long-term planning and systematic solutions. Under this management model, the government often ignores the construction of soft forces such as civic moral education, legal propaganda, and community autonomy, resulting in recurring social problems that cannot be completely solved.
Second, the use of fines in escrow has seriously damaged the relationship of trust between the government and the people. The essence of social governance is the interaction and cooperation between the government and the people, which is based on mutual understanding, trust and respect between the two sides. However, a single means of punishment is easy to make the relationship between the government and the people tense, forming a state of antagonism between the manager and the governed, weakening the public's confidence in the government's fair law enforcement, and over time, the public's trust and support for the government will inevitably be greatly reduced.
Furthermore, the use of penalty escrow ignores the concept of people-oriented service. Social governance should be based on serving the public, aiming to improve people's livelihood and improve their quality of life. When government departments rely too much on fines and other punitive measures, they often dilute the sense of service and alienate themselves from the public. In the long run, not only will it fail to effectively solve social problems, but it will also hurt people's feelings and hinder the cohesion of social consensus, which will greatly reduce the effectiveness of policy implementation.
Finally, social governance under the penalty escrow model is very easy to fall into a vicious circle. Due to the failure to rectify the root cause of the problem, coupled with the resistance of the people, it may lead to repeated prohibitions of illegal acts, and the amount of fines continues to rise, forming a situation of "the more punishment the more chaotic, the more chaotic the punishment", which aggravates social contradictions and undermines social stability.
In short, the successful governance of a country or region can not be achieved by simply imposing fines, but it is necessary to fully implement the people-oriented service concept, build a diversified social governance mechanism, realize the combination of governance according to law and governance by virtue, and coordinate strict law enforcement with enthusiastic service. Only in this way can we truly win the support and trust of the people and promote the steady development of the modernization of the country's governance system and governance capacity. Any form of escrow of punishment will face the fate of failure and is destined to be resisted by the people. Only by returning to the origin of service can we realize the original intention of social governance and build a harmonious and beautiful social home for sharing.
