The violent attack on police is historic and multiple, which is an urgent problem in our society. The empirical study of 583 judgment documents shows that the violence attack police incident is widely distributed in different ways, the consequences are serious, the target is concentrated, and it is urgent to standardize the governance. However, the current governance mechanism is not perfect, constraints are insufficient. On the basis of empirical research, this paper probes into the formation mechanism of violence attack police: prominent social contradictions and disputes, generalization of police functions, decline of police law enforcement authority, citizens’ selective law-abiding, non-standard police law enforcement, and low cost of attacking police. Based on this, there is a need for a comprehensive investigation of violent police attacks The specific governance paths include: constructing the mechanism of resolving contradictions, repositioning the police function, remolding the authority of police law enforcement, strengthening the publicity of law enforcement education, attaching importance to the construction of law enforcement standardization, and strengthening the punishment.
