CSI Effect
As the video stated, anyone who has viewed any type of crime drama on television has now been exposed to the CSI effect. Whether or not it impacts their daily responsibilities as a criminal investigator (if that is their career) is their choice. The impact on myself is little to none, because I know that the events on television shows, as well as movies, are almost never the reality of any situation. It is quite fun to imagine everything working out perfectly in the end, but we all know that is not exactly how life works. Of course, as any normal human, it is hard not to get caught up in the dramatics of the shows. Another way it impacts me minimally is the way crime shows and novels sparked an interest in this field and made me research the

    FLVS Forensic Science Mod 1 Text Questions

    2. Do you think you suffer from the "CSI effect"? Why or why not? What problems do you think this "effect" has on the criminal justice system? I think that to a certain extent I do suffer from the “CSI effect”. This is because the entire reason I’m so interested in the field of forensics is from watching crime shows such as NCIS and other forensic documentaries. Doing this might have given me an unrealistic expectation of how the study of forensics worked. However, I do understand that this field isn’t as quick and simple as portrayed on television, and even knowing this, I’m still just as interested in the field. I think that this effect causes problems in the criminal justice system such as people who give up on cases more easily than they otherwise would, because they would perceive the analyzing of evidence to be a slower process. It could also mean that there are people in the field less motivated, because their job isn’t what they expected.…

    Stroop Effect

    The aim of this study was to assess whether Stroop interference did indeed replicate with modern day students. Undergraduate students sample was obtained consisting of 12 females and 6 males, who are students in experimental psychology class. The independent variable was the condition of the stimuli with 3 levels (low, medium and high interference conditions). The dependable variable was the reaction time for the correct responses to the low, medium and high stimuli and the number of errors per condition. A one-way repeated ANOVA resulted in that there was a difference in reaction times and number of errors as the level of interference increased. ATukey’s HSD test found that there was a significant difference between the low and high interference levels and between the medium and high interference levels, as well. Also, there was no significant difference between the low and medium interference levels. That’s why the students didn’t replicate Stroop’s findings. There was a possibility that the sources of interference, like gender effect, auditory and visual distracters influenced the data.…

    Kuenne's Making A Murderer

    The audience has time to process the show and the scenes can potentially create a longer-lasting impression, as the viewer is able to space out the episodes at their leisure. However, as McNutt had mentioned, having multiple episodes where multiple reviews can accompany them, the audience becomes more critical of the shows motives and cinematographic strategies that are at play. Although this may seem natural, considering there is more material to analyze and the breaks in the episodes tend to create suspense or conclusions, this may detract from Kuenne’s original motives. Instead of being a large-scale home movie that describes all of the great values of his dear friend and also serves as a plea to correct the Canadian Bail system because of the transpired events, the mini-series may be more inviting to viewer scrutiny. Using the case of Making a Murderer, the directors had used many techniques that enhance the audience’s ideas of the accused men while also demonizing the Manitowoc County law enforcement. However, after the release and much discussion of the Netflix series, many articles had appeared that criticize the many purposeful omissions of the Avery case. Crucial evidence that was presented during the trial and further incriminates Steven Avery is left out and further…

    2.Do you think you suffer from the "CSI effect"? Why or why not? What problems do you think this "effect" has on the criminal justice system? I think I suffer from the CSI effect, I got into forensic science when I watched Dexter, my favorite serial killer. It always showed how interesting forensic science is and would be out on the field. He got a lot of days off, and it seemed pretty easy, but he wasn’t always right. Well at times he was right because he’s gone through those situations, but sometimes in court he’d bring the wrong evidence and that would mess up the whole thing and the guy would walk. All of that made me want to get into forensic science, because it looked basic and easy.…

    The CSI Effect

    High profile cases, flawless police work, and only the most up to date technology. These are traits every reality crime show such as CSI or Criminal Minds portray. While it is no surprise that this type of television show is among the most popular, the viewers are beginning to develop a skewed perspective of forensics in the real world. This new mindset is changing more than just the way people perceive science. The misunderstanding of science and technology has begun to lead to issues in the courtroom, in real criminal trials. Jurors influenced by the appearance of perfect investigative science are demanding extensive testing that is unnecessary and extremely costly. Reality crime shows heighten juror expectations and force law enforcement…

    CSI Evidence

    The way the CSI television show altered how evidence is gathered, crime scene investigation, and DNA testing really blew my mind. I then discovered when I became a police officer that none of these methods portrayed in the television show was real. In a real crime scene investigation, the time technology used are not as advanced as the equipment displayed in the show. Another issue with the CSI television show is the time frame it takes for an investigator to solve a crime scene. Based on my experience as a crime scene investigator, it usually takes more than 3-4 days to secure a crime scene. The evidence found at the scene usually takes a month or two to get results on DNA because it is sent off island for…

    Double Effect

    The Doctrine of Double Effect (DDE) is often invoked to explain the permissibility of an individual’s action that has two outcomes: one where the end result can be foresee and is good, the other that can also be foresee and is bad (Goldworth, Amnon, 2008). In other words, this doctrine is used to justify cases such as where doctors give drugs to patients to relieve severe pain (good result) knowing that doing so may shorten their life span (bad result). Under DDE, this action is justifiable because the physician intention is not aiming directly at killing the patients. The bad result of the patient’s death is a side effect of the good result of reducing the patient’s distressing pain. However, this doctrine is also a subject of controversy,…

    Tough Guise Analysis

    Criminal Minds has captivated me over the course of the last year as I Netflix binge watch. The show was the first thing I thought when this paper, and overall class discussion began. This was because the show both defies the social norms for how some crime shows are depicted, as well as falling victim to some stereotypes, as every show seems to do. For these reasons it was a very interesting show to analyze from the characters, to a couple specific episodes.…

    TV Crime Drama

    “After all, we all have a built in sense of justice… this built in sense of justice could be the basis of our desire to watch the bad man go down.”(hubpages.com). Going back to Bruckheimer theory of the “White Knight” coming in to save the day. We like seeing criminals get the punishment they deserve. “So why is there a need to make these?(creative episodes). The obvious explanation is that it prevents boredom. Overtime the human mind has grown to solve puzzle and to see through intricate situations.”(hubpages.com). This explains why tv dramas are what most people enjoy watching. Besides the sense of justice we have people just tend to genuinely enjoy watching crime dramas. It sometimes isn’t the need to see the cruddy guys be put away, but the enjoyment of just watching all the crime fighting and action happening that makes you scream at the TV and get all excited about. “It is a combination of us trying to satisfy our sense of justice, our desire to feel good about ourselves and our urge to have thorough knowledge of someone else’s intentions that makes us so addicted to crime series.”(hubpages.com). While others might disagree and see no interest in crime drama because in general we see enough crime happening in real life whether you read it in the newspaper, media, or even seeing in it on you local 7 news we get sick and tired of watching crime happening all around the world. So, we understand the reason for the crime happening and the violence, but sometimes some the action or events that happen in crime drama are just too fake. “Jurors today want to see some kind of high-tech crime-fighting science, because they’ve seen it on TV: DNA off an eyelash left at the scene, or a magical fingerprint detecting camera. As a prosecutor, a large part of my job was bringing the jury’s expectations into line with reality, despite these TV show.”(Leotta).…

    Television in today's society is mainly focused around crime and violence. This subject matter seems to get the attention of many audience viewers whether it is a docu-drama or real life investigations about serial killers. Some of the shows that I enjoy watching that involve crime include Cops, Forensic Files, and Medium, which is a docu-drama on NBC. While watching these shows on many different occasions, I have realized that some do follow the criminal justice system while others don't…

    Getting Away With a Crime

    Lately I’ve been watching a lot of Dexter. Dexter is a TV series centered on a blood spatter analyst named Dexter Morgan who works for the Miami Metro Police Department who also lives a secret life as one of the biggest serial killers in Miami. What separates Dexter from other serial killers is that he only hunts down criminals that have gotten away with crimes. As a Miami forensics expert, Dexter spends most of his days solving crimes thus making him a master at getting away with them. Sometimes I wonder whether the message of this show is a right one. Don’t get me wrong I love the show, it’s awesome! Not saying that I would ever attempt to commit murder but if there’s one thing that that I’ve really learned from watching Dexter it would probably be covering up a crime scene.…

    Tv Shows

    Television is harming our view of the world by displaying bad characters. Showing bad characters harms our view of the world because it makes people want to be something they are not. The characters you see on TV are bullies, drug dealers, rapists, crack heads, and murderers. Some TV shows and movies are showing that the bad characters are cool, but in fact they are the weakest link. For example, a movie that shows how bad characters are shown cool is Boyz N the Hood. Boyz N the Hood shows drug dealers and murderers are cool, but at the end of the movie they die. One of my favorite TV shows is Law and Order: Special Victims Unit. Law and Order: SWV shows that the bad guys are not cool, and they end up in jail or dead. Majority of the TV shows and movies portray the bad character as popular people; so people in the real world would be like hem. Children treat the bad guys like role models when they are not. The bad guys or characters are destroying our community. Being the characters on TV will get you nowhere in life.…
