About this listen
In his book To Catch a Predator, Chris Hansen, the on-air correspondent for one of Dateline's most successful series, looks deeper into the world of child predators. The book expands beyond the Dateline series to include more commentary from psychological and criminal experts about the origins and methods of child predators, and includes substantive advice for both parents and children on how to protect kids who use the Internet. Hansen also looks at the current methods for treating child predators. To Catch a Predator presents a strong analysis of what some feel is a child-predator epidemic and a startling look at the shortcomings of our systems and society.

Like anyone, I feel anger toward these men and want them to pay for what they did. They need to realize the painful impact their actions can have on a young teen. However, I?m not so sure that exposing them on Dateline NBC is the most moral thing to do. There are way too many other factors at work here for it to be a matter of catching a predator and removing the threat. And there?ve been accusations that Dateline means to entertain and shock.
There are some parts of the book that are very moving; these are the tragedies of the victimized kids. One very sad story involves a 13-year-old girl who befriended someone she believed to be a teen boy but was an adult who convinced her to meet him, then kidnapped and killed her.
However, outside of the horrific case stories, the book doesn?t have much to advise us on that we don?t already know by now. The internet provides a fast, hard-to-detect way for predators to chat with teens, making the world more dangerous today. But just as people knew 15 years ago, the best defense is a smart kid, one that knows to never go to meet a stranger, and that an online stranger has no right to ask them such personal questions. They must be knowledgeable when parents aren't there. I've no kids of my own yet I can imagine a parent?s urgency. Unfortunately, I don't think this book can help much.

it also contains long rambly accounts of child killings that have been drawn out of the archive to pad this out, as well as tedious and hopelessly out of date advice on how to keep children safe on line. Remember to keep track of those MySpace accounts folks!
Hansen comes across as smug, self righteous and out of touch. As others have said - I just don't trust him.
Kind of all over the place
