SVU has taken it up an notch and again found its legs. The way they've done it this time is by showing more behind-the-scenes footage as to how a victim is treated, such as all they have to endure in order to process rape kit evidence. It is portrayed in as much detail as can be shown on network TV, with Jennifer Love Hewitt flinching and sobbing in pain, as some of the rape kit swabs are used to collect evidence.
Another fact divulged is the overwhelming amount of rape kits that go unprocessed all across the country. Benson travels to Detroit, Chicago and L.A., discovering that thousands upon thousands of articles of DNA evidence that could convict rapists go unprocessed and undocumented every year. This is another instance where SVU educates the public by bringing into awareness what is happening in real-life law enforcement nationwide.
It's nice to see that SVU has stepped it up as far as performing a public service as well as providing entertainment.
