To Catch A Predator got great ratings, but NBC cancelled it in 2007 after one of the targeted offenders met a violent end. Host Chris Hansen developed a devoted fan base, and the show’s cancellation left them thirsty for more pervs. But legal authorities argue that Chris Hansen – and his many imitators – don’t actually use the best tactics. We ask the tough questions: is using a vigilante group called "Perverted Justice" to bait a bunch of ‘philias into eating pizza with underage girls REALLY the way to ensure these men do jail time? Hansen has revitalized his career with the help of YouTube and the Onision drama, but his staffing choices have raised more questions about his judgment. Excitingly, we have a surprise guest spot from Dr. Shiloh of LA Not So Confidential, who pops in to give us some professional insight into what type of offender takes their twisted fantasies offline.  SONG CREDIT: “To Catch a Predator” by Insane Clown Posse SOURCES: https://docs.google.com/document/d/171YgSHGADMIfC1W535K1XAnYiDrSQy70V8hKz_jIFVY/edit?usp=sharing
