Fengqiao‐Style Policing: A Grassroots Model for Public Security Governance

ABSTRACT Public security governance faces significant challenges in an era of urbanization and social complexity. China's Fengqiao‐style policing, rooted in the 1960s “Fengqiao Experience,” offers a grassroots model that emphasizes early conflict resolution, community participation, and cost‐effective governance. This study explores the evolution of Fengqiao‐style policing, highlighting its integration of modern technology and institutional reforms. Using empirical data, the research examines its mechanisms, localized conflict resolution, multi‐stakeholder engagement, and data‐driven decision‐making—and evaluates its applicability beyond China. The findings suggest that this model has significant potential for addressing global public security issues and offers insights into enhancing trust, collaboration, and efficiency in community policing.
