摘要：This research explores the perceived impact of criminal investigation shows upon the administration of justice in one jurisdiction. The authors used the mail survey technique to ask judges their perceptions of the impact of shows like CSI in their courtrooms. The judges surveyed perceived these shows having an impact on the administration of their courts, and a majority did not view this impact as positive. They did not, however, indicate that the shows' perceived impact required an affirmative change in the administration of their courts, not did they perceive a substantial impact upon convictions. A majority of respondents also perceived an impact of these shows on attorney behavior and jury selection. While there may not be a CSI effect in actual jury decision making, there may be a perceived impact upon the actions of some members of the courtroom workgroup.
