  3. Pay the Dorner rewards

    What are the nature and purpose of a reward offered to help apprehend a criminal suspect? As generations of first-year law students have learned, a reward may be viewed as a contract in which someone, usually a public agency, makes an "offer" of money in return for information; a person with information then "accepts" that offer by providing the information and pocketing the cash. That's fine as a legal definition, but it ignores the larger purpose of a reward. A reward is an inducement &mdash; a way of engaging the public in the attempt to thwart some threat to safety. Money is offered in effect to deputize and incentivize a community, enlisting its services to bring a suspect to justice. The reward is the payoff for the person or persons who achieve that purpose.
