About

To Catch a Predator

To Catch a Predator is a hidden camera show with a difference… dedicated to identifying and detaining potential child sexual abusers who use the Internet to contact and arrange to meet minors. With hard-hitting consequences these investigations are hosted by Datelines correspondent Chris Hansen, who is also involved in the operation and helps arrest most of the individuals caught.

"We don't label these guys as paedophiles. Paedophiles have a very specific definition, people who are interested in prepubescent sex. What we're talking about here are potential predators".
