I wonder if Amber alerts on the whole help. I never used to get/pay attention to Amber alerts. Now I get quite a few of them directly to my phone. I'm sure they increase the odds of catching a criminal on the run. But they also increase the notoriety the perpetrator receives for committing the crime. For some criminals, I think that is a big part of their motivation.
