A bounty hunter
is an individual who seeks out fugitives for a monetary reward, for
apprehending by law, if such laws exist. Other names for bounty
hunters include Other names, mainly used in the United States, include bail
agent, bail enforcement agent, bail officer, fugitive recovery agent,
fugitive recovery officer and bail fugitive recovery specialist.
Most bounty hunters are employed by a
bail bondsman. The bounty hunter is paid a portion of the bail the fugitive
initially paid. If the fugitive eludes bail, the bondsman, not the bounty
hunter, is responsible for the remainder of the fugitive's bail.
Therefore, the bounty hunter is the bail bondsman's way of ensuring his clients
arrive at trial. In the United States, bounty hunters catch an estimated
31,500 bail jumpers per year, about 90% of people who jump bail. Bounty
hunters are also sometimes known as "bail enforcement agents" or "fugitive
recovery agents," which are the preferred industry and polite terms, but in
common speech (and language), they are still called "bounty hunters".
Also, bounty hunters are sometimes called "skiptracers," but this usage can be
misleading. While bounty hunters are often skiptracers as well,
skiptracing
generally refers to the process of searching for an individual through less
direct methods than active pursuit and apprehension, such as private
investigators or debt collectors. Skiptracing can also refer to searches
related to a civil matter and does not always imply criminal conduct on the
part of the individual being traced.
In the United States of America, bounty hunters have varying levels of
authority in their duties with regard to their targets, depending on the
states in which they operate.
