CHAPTER 02: LITERATURE REVIEW

Criminal investigation by J. N. Gilbert

Crime scene investigation is to scrutinize the place of crime and its vicinity to gather the forensic evidences of the crime. Although this process seems simple enough, it is a complex task even learned crime scene investigators require years of work experience before they are able to develop the skills to become better at this job. The CSI effect also shows how one can commit crimes, experts in the area have noticed an increase in criminal cases where the suspects manipulated the evidence (for example, the use of chlorine to destroy evidence of DNA), or attempt to clean the crime scene carefully to avoid leaving fingerprints, such as hairs, fibers, or clothing.

The Forensic Sciences, By Anderson, 2011

This study shows that, although speculation about the validity of the CSI effect abound, only recently have researchers begun to study the effect of CSI on the behavior of juries. An empirical study of the effects of the series suggested that viewers CSI, and other programs of the genre, critical forensic science shown in them, and are less convinced of it, however, those differences were not found in the viewers of shows like Law & Order (and other crime in general), which implies that the CSI effect is limited to those who are solely focused programs in forensic science.

People who overestimate the real basis of programs such as CSI: Crime Scene Investigation and its spin-offs may develop unreasonable expectations of professionalism in the proper forensic. Although the technologies shown in these programs of fiction are praised, in reality, the various techniques shown require more time to give a definite answer on the analysis of evidence. Analysts fear that people come to believe that forensic science real becomes as quick and safe as can be seen at shows.
