Catch a Predator was a television series that aired on NBC from 2004 to 2007. The show was hosted by Chris Hansen and featured hidden camera stings in which adult volunteers posed as minors in online chat rooms to catch potential predators looking to engage in sexual activities with children.
The show's format involved luring the suspects to a decoy house, where Chris Hansen would confront them with their online chat logs and often incriminating evidence. The suspects were then typically arrested by law enforcement waiting outside the house.
The show received criticism for its controversial tactics, including entrapment and violation of privacy rights. Despite this, Catch a Predator was successful at raising awareness about online predators and the importance of internet safety for children.
The show led to numerous arrests and convictions of individuals seeking to exploit children online. However, it also faced backlash for its sensationalism and ethical concerns. Catch a Predator was eventually canceled in 2007, but it remains a well-known and impactful program in the realm of internet safety and child protection.
