Understanding CSI: Creating a Believeable Crime Scene

[Vickie Britton]

TV shows like CSI are entertaining, but they give an unrealistic impression of how evidence is really collected and how crime scenes are managed. Catching crooks isn't easy--it takes a lot of work and effort on the part of the police and the lab. 

[Bob]

So true. CSI Miami are not even police. They are outsourced. They drive panel vans not Hummers. The interogation rooms are four solid walls in a 6 by ten foot room. It's truly hard work, lots on leg work and manual procedures that take a lot more time than we see on TV.
