Resumen de CSI: Reality.
This article focuses on the effect of the television show "Crime Scene Investigation" on law enforcement. Prosecutors, judges and police officers have noted what they believe to be a so-called CSI effect whereby the popular television forensics programs have led jurors to have unreasonable expectations for the quality and quantity of physical evidence. Any CSI effect in courtrooms is still unproved. But the television programs have led to an increase in the collection of physical evidence, contributing to issues of storage and personnel shortages. The television shows have also undoubtedly led to an explosion of interest in forensics evidence on college campuses, where enrollment in forensics science studies has greatly increased since the CSI series went on the air.
