英国北爱尔兰地区正在实施一项“青年犯罪救助计划”。该计划旨在减少青少年犯罪案件的数量，而彩票资金的注入则已成为计划实施的重要资金保障。

　　近年来的社会调查显示，英国的青少年犯罪呈现出犯罪低龄化、作案方式成人化、作案手段凶残化和科技化，以及在校学生团伙犯罪、暴力抢劫犯罪增多等特点。

　　目前，北爱尔兰当地的部分慈善组织已经开始实施“青年犯罪救助计划”。近380万英镑的彩票资金已被用于帮助那些深陷犯罪泥沼的青年。这些青年多数已经成年，部分已经历过牢狱生活，部分则因保释或是胜诉而“幸免于难”，甚至就连部分没有任何“前科”的刚刚走入社会的年轻人也列入计划实施的对象。

　　据了解，积极接受帮助的年轻人，还可以通过申请参加“青年人的机会”来帮助更多和自己处境类似的同龄人。
