Abstract:Discretion is of important significance in the field of justice and administrate law, but only through the perspective of normative jurisprudence, there are some restrictions for us to study the discretion, multidisciplinary research on the discretion should be conducted in accordance with sociology and management. The two different frameworks of topdown and bottomup are useful tools to analyze the discretion, the dilemmas of the streetlevel bureaucracy are between the detailed rules and the antirules, the pressure from the top and the limited resources from the bottom, the official target and the responsibilities. How to strike a balance between rules and discretion depends on the integration from multiple perspectives.
