当前围绕三农问题、社会保障问题等社会热点所引发的上访潮愈演愈烈,这一现象反映出社会转型时期我们所面临的法治困境。民众选择上访而非法律途径来解决争议和表达意见,不仅存在着民众传统心理和法律意识淡薄的原因,更折射出当前我们的司法救济途径存在的弊端和效益的低下。 At present, the petition wave caused by social hot issues such as the issues concerning agriculture, rural areas and farmers and the social security issue intensified. This phenomenon reflects the dilemma of rule of law we face during the social transition. The popular choice of petitions rather than legal channels to resolve disputes and express opinions not only causes the traditional psychological and legal awareness of the public but also reflects the shortcomings and inefficiencies of the current judicial remedy.
