Police in the Dutch city of Rotterdam is rolling out a new and highly controversial pilot program aimed at reducing crime. The program will target young men wearing designer clothing or expensive jewellery who supposedly look like they’re too poor to afford the items in question. If they’re unable to adequately prove to the police how they were able to purchase their clothes and/or accessories, the items will potentially be confiscated on the spot, with suspects expected to strip down in the street. 荷兰鹿特丹的警方新推出了一项以减少犯罪为目标的试点项目，引发争议。该项目将把目标瞄准那些穿大牌服饰或佩戴昂贵首饰但看上去又像买不起这些东西的年轻人。如果他们无法向警察充分证明自己有能力购买这些服饰，他们所穿着的服饰将被当场充公，而嫌疑人则可能被当街扒光。 The controversial program will run for a limited time, to test its effectiveness, and the Rotterdam police department will be collaborating with the public prosecution department to help them determine what items they can legally confiscate. The main idea behind this endeavour is to deter theft by sending a signal that perpetrators will not be able to keep their stolen goods. 这一争议性项目将试行一段时间来测试其有效性，而鹿特丹警察局将和检察机关合作，请其协助决定他们能合法没收的物件。此举的主要意图就是向犯罪分子发出警告，让他们知道偷来的赃物是留不住的，以此来打击盗窃行为。 |
