csi effect

     

The "CSI Effect" (sometimes referre to as the "CSI syndrome") is a reference to the phenomenon of popular television shows such as the CSI franchise raising crime victims' and jury members' real-world expectations of forensic science, especially crime scene investigation and DNA testing. Much of these concerns stem from the "dramatic license" taken by the writers of forensic science television--glamorizing the field, overstating the accuracy of forensic techniques, and exaggerating the abilities of forensic science. This is said to have changed the way many trials are presented today, in that prosecutors are pressured to deliver more forensic evidence in court.
