Television crime dramas have greatly increased public interest in crime and forensic science. As such, juror's today expect more categorical proof than forensic science is capable of delivering. This phenomenon has been coined the CSI effect (Crime scene effect).
The exaggerated representation of forensic science in crime television programs like <em>CSI: Crime Scene Investigation </em>effects public perception. The phrase initially appeared in a 2004 <em>USA Today</em> story discussing the impact that television shows incorporating forensic science were having on trial juries.
Most frequently, it alludes to the idea that juries have started to demand more forensic evidence in criminal cases, placing the actual burden of proof on the prosecution.
Although this is a commonly held opinion among American legal professionals, some research contend that while regular CSI viewers may have a diminished regard for circumstantial evidence, crime programs are unlikely to have such an impact.
