Cavender and Deutsch - CSI

This article brings to our attention how CSI brings forensic science into the world of media through crime. What CSI does is use the forensics at a crime scene to solve their crimes, mostly murder. The show allows the audience to feel as if they can understand what exactly is going in the scientists heads as they look over the evidence and determine what it all means in the scheme of things. The show also portrays the fact that the perp is always going to be caught and put away without question because science has proven the victor over and over again.

I don't really watch CSI, but I do watch Bones which is another crime show that involves the use of science to get the bad guy, that and the gut of Booth. And much like the article describes, they always catch their guy by the use of science. So I'd have to say that what is being presented to us in this article is simply telling everyone what they know point blank about the show without saying it out loud.
