The ‘CSI Effect’: Do TV Programs Really Change Jury Behavior?

See the Evidence

Olli Study Group Olli Study Group

Prosecutors claim that jurors who watch shows like CSI on television are wrongfully acquitting guilty criminals because they don’t see the kind of forensic science evidence that is presented on TV.
The media has labeled this the “CSI Effect.” But is it true? We’ll discuss empirical research into real juror expectations and demands for scientific evidence, whether it might better be called the “tech effect,” and how the criminal justice system might adjust to modern jurors.

This study group for those 50 and over will meet for 90 minutes on Wednesday, December 7 and will be led by the Hon. Donald E. Shelton who directs the Criminology and Criminal Justice Program at UM-Dearborn.
