	The show is notable for its ostensibly sympathetic depiction of zealous and sometimes corrupt detectives as part of the [[child abuse industry]] and [[child sexual abuse]] prosecution apparatus. SVU detectives frequently ask suspects whether they are members of [[~~NAMbLA~~]], and many episodes of SVU are based on high-profile real-life cases such as that of [[Michael Jackson]]. It is hard to determine whether some of SVU's more blatant examples of [[emotional reasoning]] and [[civil rights]] violations are intentionally ironic on the part of the show's writers.

	SVU bases its depiction of "deviant" psychology on the modern "uncertainty" [[discourse]] of sexual perversion as an epidemic and widespread threat to social institutions, primarily childhood. Episodes typically begin with the following voiceover by Steven Zirnkilton:		SVU bases its depiction of "deviant" psychology on the modern "uncertainty" [[discourse]] of sexual perversion as an epidemic and widespread threat to social institutions, primarily childhood.

			:''""Law & Order: SVU" frequently portrays detectives using renegade tactics in order to get confessions and convictions. [...] The use of such tactics (excessive force, control talk, violations of police procedure) are rarely questioned or frowned upon, instead they are treated as a normal part of policing. On “SVU” there is an average of 1.12 civil rights violations per episode; the most common violations are use of excessive force and failure to read a suspect their Miranda warnings. These violations were never punished in the 2003-2004 season of “SVU”. On the rare occasion that a violation of civil rights was mentioned by a character on the program it was in the form of a verbal warning to “calm down” so that the case would not be jeopardized. More typically, civil rights violations were shown as part of doing business with heinous criminals. The importance of civil rights to the United States justice system are almost never mentioned on “SVU”, instead violations of these rights are normalized and the implicit message is that suspects and offenders have too many rights. Combine this with frequent control talk, which implies an “us” versus “them” mentality, from police officers and the impression you are left with is that police officers need to resort to any means necessary to protect “us” from “them.” (Cavendar & Fishman, 1998; Eschholz et al., 2004).''
