The UK government has announced a pilot scheme to help mentally ill people who have been arrested by the police. Mental health nurses will work in police stations in 10 different regions across England. The aim is to identify those with mental health issues as early as possible so they receive the correct treatment. The UK's Care and Support minister Norman Lamb explained: "Diverting the individual away from offending, and helping to reduce the risk of more victims suffering due to further offences benefits everyone." The minister in charge of policing, Damian Green, said: "Police officers should be focused on fighting crimes, and people with mental health conditions should get the care they need as early as possible."

英國政府公布了一項試點計劃，此次計劃將幫助那些被警方拘捕的精神病患者。治療精神病的護士將在全英格蘭的10處不同的警察局工作。其目的是要盡早查出健康問題，讓犯人獲得正確的判罰。英國國家關(guān)懷和支持部部長諾曼·拉姆解釋道：“讓個體遠離犯罪，減少罪犯再次犯罪的幾率將受益于所有人。”警察署負責人格林稱：“警官應(yīng)該關(guān)注打擊犯罪，而患有心里疾病的患者應(yīng)該盡早受到關(guān)注和關(guān)懷。

The pilot project could have a big impact on how the UK's police force uses personnel and resources. Police officers currently spend up to 25 per cent of their time dealing with suspected offenders with mental health problems. This is the equivalent of around 26,000 officers. Paul Jenkins of the charity Rethink Mental Illness welcomed the new initiative. He said: "All too often, the way our criminal justice system deals with people with mental health problems leads to poor outcomes for individuals, and frustration from police officers…and others." He added: "This initiative has the potential to stop people going unnecessarily to prison, reduce reoffending rates and save millions in taxpayers' money."

此次試點項目將對英國警察部門如何利用人力和資源產(chǎn)生深遠影響。目前，警官需要花費25%的時間處理患有心里問題的犯罪嫌疑人。這相當于2萬6000名警官。反思精神疾病機構(gòu)執(zhí)行長保羅·詹金斯歡迎此項計劃。他說：“通常，刑事司法系統(tǒng)在處理心理問題上經(jīng)常會對個人產(chǎn)生不良后果，并給警察和其他人帶來困惑。”他還說：“這項計劃將避免人們造成不必要的牢獄之災(zāi)，并減少犯罪幾率，并節(jié)省納稅人上百萬的資金。
