Issue Paper-2nd Rewritten vision

The changes I make:

Originally I intended to find out the unreasonable plots of crime series and point out how the accurate procedure would be in real world. But soon I know that this arrangement for issue paper is not appropriate. The room for discussion is limited, even not worthwhile.I am incapable of pointing out the mistakes in crime series because I am lack in special knowledge. So this purpose pushes me to change my subject. It may be better if I search the related knowledge from crime series. Owing to the intention is differ from before, I almost rewrite the whole article to make my point more clear. I try to make my goal more practically and worthy to discuss.

Crime Series Reveal More

Crime series have appeared for a long time, but not that famous, not that varied. Most of them only focus on police officer, how they capture criminals by their brilliant heads. Things changed rapidly in year 2000, the “CSI: crime scene investigation” soon drive audience crazy. Soon the similar topics are introduced in these crime series, “Criminal Minds”, “Bones” and “The Closer”. They are focusing on different part of crime investigation respectively, though taste differ, they are all welcomed by audience alike. A crime series fan may be everyone. They come from diverse occupations, ages, countries. They are not afraid of blood, bodies, and cruel murderers. Audience are satisfied when the criminals are exposed, amazed at the detectives as well as high technology’s intelligence. With this endorsement, crime series must have led some changes among our society. For example, jury ask prosecutor to present more accurate and detailed evidence because CSI tells them how powerful these evidence are. Students decide to major in departments which are relating to crime; they see another way to practice justice. Also, crime series expose many subject we hard to know, such as mentally defective children, illegal immigrants, missing people, even leaks in law. Human nature is unpredictable, so does the result of a case. Crime series bring audience diversity vibrations. However, except for examples above, crime series reveal more. Here I would like to emphasis on the professional knowledge of investigation. Crime has always been a mysterious but fascinated subject. Normal people are hard to get information about it unless they are one member of law schools. Now, it is a chance for us to peep at this knowledge. They show us part of the truth of investigation, though not the whole picture, it still useful. To solving a case, the police have to collect clues from different aspects, such as forensic evidence, interrogation or examination from coroners. That’s what crime series show us respectively; they introduce one specialty one time. By tracing the scenes they show us we are able to realize profound knowledge behind these exciting plots, and find out those unspoken but important details. Then, we think about ourselves. Is there any similar cases happened before? Though the crime series’ background is in United States, suppose it is happened in Taiwan? Do crime series show us another possible solution?

In this paper, I am going to discuss the influence of crime series first, make clear ambiguous concepts audience misunderstand. In these specious plots, what is real and what is just for suiting TV program’s requirement? Then, by introducing different kinds of crime series, we find out the hidden but necessary knowledge behind them. What does a real forensic scientist do when they are working? What the required qualities and knowledge an interrogator, a profiler, a coroner has to arm with? How do they overcome their difficulties when they are doing their jobs? Finally, I present my opinion toward Taiwan base on these materials. I believe watching crime series can be more beneficial if we know more about their background. Hope this paper can achieve that goal.
