The main difference of the two TV shows, CSI and NCIS, is that CSI consists murders of the general public and NCIS consists of only military based murders. Both TV shows are unrealistic compared to the real world. CSI shows how dangerous the job can be by agents getting killed in a crime scene, which also shows how it can affects the investigations. NCIS (Naval Criminal Investigation Service), on the other hand, is a real government agency that only focuses on crimes that involve the military and the show NCIS is deals with many of the same cases as the real life agency. In my opinion, the more realistic show between CSI and NCIS would be NCIS. The show CSI is unrealistic to the real world because the crime scenes are really convenient, such as figuring out the time of death as quickly as they do and finding evidence that is scattered across the scene, which is very rare realistically. Each episode of the show the cases are very unique, where in real life, investigators are handed a lot of paperwork and the cases are always very similar. The fingerprint information and DNA comparisons are matched and returned to the investigators very quickly, which in reality it takes weeks to make a fingerprint match to a suspect that is unknown and breaking things down to genetic material will take even longer. Teams are usually very small and move very slow in investigations, in the show, they have teams of five or six to solve a crime and they move much quicker in solving the case. Also, when investigating a crime in real life, the data that’s given is usually very debatable and don’t provide enough to convict a suspect and on CSI, the data that’s given is almost always right and results in solving the case. The show NCIS, just like CSI is dramatized and unrealistic to real life situations to make the show more interesting, I did some research and found that the real NCIS agency shares actual cases with the producers of the show to make sure the show is somewhat close to what the real NCIS does. On the show, the agents don’t act as professional as they would in real life. After watching some episodes, the differences that distinct both TV shows from real life is that they walk through the crime scenes without doing the proper procedures when entering a crime scene. At a crime scene, you must first, identify and secure the scene and also check the life of any victims found at the scene. Second, preserve the evidence by taping the perimeter of the scene and using guards to restrict the scene to authorized personnel only and also they must establish the entrance and exit paths, effects of the weather, and isolate witnesses and possible suspects. Third, the first one to the crime scene must observe the scene by walking through. Fourth, the scene must be released to higher personnel to investigate the crime. Fifth, they must record the scene by taking pictures, sketching, or taking very detailed notes. Sixth, the evidence found must be marked and must have a picture taken of it. While watching NCIS, I felt the actors really get into their characters. For example, Abby, the forensic scientist, is really good at what she does and almost seems as though she’s an actual forensic scientist in real life. While watching CSI, I felt that the actors were just acting and it made it hard to compare it to real life, other than the fact that it does show some dangers that come with becoming a CSI agent.
