In order to accurately depict how the CSI Effect strongly influences our society’s view on crime and courtroom proceedings, I will be comparing different CSI episodes to those methods and theories which apply. Throughout the paper, I will be explaining how CSI has shaped peoples’ minds in believing false claims and investigation beliefs. Watching and comparing episodes of CSI to the CSI Effect will be a prime reference in explaining how the media is placing a spin on CSI television shows.

“Profiling entails coming up with basic evidence from the characteristics of the perpetrator and the victims (referred to as victimology), using evidence from the case and matching that information to historic precedents and psychological analyses as a means to solve the case” (Huggo). Criminal Minds a television series that premieres on CBS that mimics the Behavioral Analysis Unit, also known the BAU, a small subsection of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).

One of my favorite television programs is "Criminal Minds". It's a series of very suspenseful episodes about a team of criminal profilers from the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit. They solve cases based on profiling criminals. The techniques and procedures used to capture the criminals are astonishing. They practically seep into the minds of criminals and use their disadvantages to their advantage. The team consist of very intelligent, expert criminal profilers. They work well together, and I admire the bond that they have formed. It enables the viewer to better connect with the characters. Sometimes, they travel in a private jet to get to their destination. I am absolutely fascinated with their high class, fast-paced lifestyle. It's educational

Criminal Minds is one of the most interesting television shows I have come across. What sets it apart from various other shows based on forensic science and FBI storylines is that the BAU (Behavioral Analyst Unit) catches various criminals often referred to as ‘Unsubs’ in the show through behavioral profiling which means the team solves the cases through focusing on the psychology and point of view of the criminals, deeply understanding their stressors, statutory requirements, thought processes and more that lead them into committing some of the deadliest crimes. The show is written extremely well and is believable unlike other crime shows, infact a lot of episodes are based on real crimes committed by infamous criminals. What makes this ever-so-interesting series better is its wonderful cast. Each character in this show namely Hotch, Reid, Morgan, Rossi, Garcia and Prentis have their own quirks and set of skills which they contribute to the team. From Dr. Spencer Reid’s photographic memory and unlimited knowledge about everything to Garcia and
