Fan Attraction Like CSI: Crime Scene Investigation
Fans of “NCIS” would love to engage with the characters of the show, even if it was role playing. This aspect of being a devoted viewer is always the barrier between a well written TV show and wanting to escape the real world to fight crime and help put the bad guys away (even if it is fake).

This scenario got me thinking this week about the possibility of “NCIS” and the future of the show. It is possible that this famed CBS show will ever get a fan attraction like “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation” has in Las Vegas? Called “CSI: The Experience”, viewers of the show get to play a crime scene investigator and check out two state-of-the-art forensic crime labs. If you’ve gone, you know the special effects are amazing.

    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.…

    The Csi Effect Summary

    The Honorable Donald E. Sheldon is a felony trial judge in Ann Arbor, Michigan and a member of the faculty at Eastern Michigan University. In Sheldon’s article, The ‘CSI Effect’: Does it really exist? that was published in the National Institute of Justice, he discusses the craze around the “crime-fiction television dramas” and the possible effects it has on jurors in their decisions in court cases. (Sheldon, par. 3)With the country in complete fascination with crime-fiction Sheldon found television rating from 2006 that showed that “five of the top ten television programs that week were about scientific evidence in criminal cases. Together they amassed more than 100 million viewers.” (Sheldon, Par. 6) With more than 100 million viewers watching crime-fiction in a given week Sheldon wonders “how many of them report for juror duty the next day?”(Sheldon, Par. 7) If the number is significant does it affect how they will judge the outcome in the courtroom?…

    Career Journal/Paper Entry #1

    - Most CSI's are sworn officers, but there are a large number of civilians with the same job. The difference between the two is economics and arrest powers. Police Officers are generally paid at a higher level than the civilian counter-parts; they usually have better benefits and more career opportunities. Civilian CSI's have little career opportunities, less benefits and work in the same dangerous environment as their sworn counterpart.…

    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…

    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…

    Personal Narrative: My Journey To The CSI Field

    The summer after my freshman year in high school, I had the opportunity to go to a forum in Washington, D.C. The forum discussed law and crime scene investigations (CSI). Although the forum was held for approximately six days, it changed my life. I had always yearned to be in the CSI field, but through the mock trial, investigations and the people whom I was able to meet at the forum I was able to fully establish my feelings about the future since I was able to experience the veracity of the…

    Personal Narrative: The Real Life Nancy Drew

    At first, I was just another person to be a victim of the csi effect. For the longest time, I wanted to be a detective because of this televised perception of solving the most exciting and challenging cases. I had grown accustomed to watching shows such as Criminal minds and Castle, and wanted to be just like the protagonists. I even had this dream of being just like Nancy Drew and driving around in a red convertible. When people would ask if these shows had an impact on me wanting to become a detective, I never wanted to admit that was the reason. But yet, I didn’t…
