Tommy Lau’s Podcast Review:
I reviewed three individual podcasts to be at an acceptable level for the time requirement all three of the podcasts where from the same website called “www.Howstuffworks.com” with their podcast titled “StuffYouShouldKnow.” The name I find to be clever and attractive.
Podcast notes:
“How Bounty Hunters Work”- 22:59
Catchy intro and outro tune
Follows up on a two part series in the podcast.
It is an answered question and research conducted on a listeners fan mail.
First established that many cases of a bounty hunter is usually referred to as a bail enforcement agent and are usually paid now by bail companies.
Are more historically thought of and played as an old west theme “Wanted” poster, Now however dead or alive is not useful in court,
Now however one of the rules of better bounty hunting is to bring fugitives in with the least physical contact because some law enforcement offices will not accept them if they are roughed up.
Some bail companies and the director of national enforcement industry is quoted and has a confirmed twenty thousand private arrests.. and mentioned a theme called Adrenadollars.. coined for the thrill or rush associated with capturing fugitives and carrying weapons.
Explains the risk of contracting the use and service of a bails bondsman and the consequences of skipping court date while the bails bondsman is on the hook for you.
“How Kleptomania Works”-25:23
Consider comparison to podcasts to spoken blogs…
Kleptomania does not technically exist as a disease and is considered more like that of obsessive behavior like gambling of pyromaniacs.
Like many things with studies with the brain and brain related disorder is hard to understand and it is also quoted as difficult to find kleptomaniacs to study…
surprisingly only 5 percent of all clinical kleptomaniacs admit to being kleptomaniacs.
Covert Sensitization: a form of therapy that when a subject has thoughts of random stealing they are trained to visualize the consequences. ( assumed common sense)
