Stemming the Tide: the Presentation of Women Scientists in CSI
http://genderandset.open.ac.uk Stemming the Tide: The Presentation of Women Scientists in CSI Shane Warren1, Mark Goodman1, Rebecca Horton1, Nate Bynum2 1Mississippi State University, 2University of Nevada Las Vegas, USA ABSTRACT This paper evaluates the role of Sara Sidle played by Jorja Fox in CSI: Crime Scene Investigation (CSI) for 15 years, and her female co-stars, allowing us to discuss specific rewards and punishments (Fiske, 1987) assigned over the course of many episodes. We reviewed three of the 15 years of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation to understand the media presentation of women scientists. We found that CSI did present stereotypical views of the female investigators and that the female characters playing these roles were often punished by the script. However, we also found that the show provided an opportunity for the story of women to be told by these female characters. Accordingly, our examination of the character of Sara Sidle and the other forensic scientists found that the portrayal was more complex than previously literature suggests.

CSI and Forensic Realism
CSI and Forensic Realism By Sarah Keturah Deutsch University of Wisconsin Law School Gray Cavender Arizona State University School of Justice & Social Inquiry CSI has consistently been among the top rated television programs since its debut in 2000. What is the secret to its popularity? Our analysis reveals that CSI combines the traditions of television's crime genre, especially the police procedural, with a creative sense of forensic realism. CSI constructs the illusion of science through its strategic web of forensic facticity. Ironically, although CSI depicts unrealistic crimes in a melodramatic fashion, this crime drama does so in a manner that suggests that its science is valid, that the audience understands science and can use it to solve crimes. Keywords: forensic facticity; TV crime genre; police procedural INTRODUCTION CSI: Crime Scene Investigation (CSI) has enjoyed an enviable status in television. Having completed its eighth season, a longevity that is rare in prime time television, this crime drama consistently has been the top rated program in its time slot both in its first run and rerun incarnations (see Nielsen Ratings, June 20-26, 2005; Toff, 7 April 2007: A16). Not only has CSI generated two successful spin-off series (CSI: Miami and CSI: NY), it has pushed forensic science terms and concepts into the popular discourse. Accompanying this diffusion has been the sense that science and the police are virtually infallible. Crime genre programs have been a staple since television's inception. The success of programs from Dragnet to NYPD Blue has evidenced the audience's fascination with crime dramas. In one sense, CSI has been another program in a long line of television crime dramas, and it has exhibited features common to the genre, for example, plots that were driven by violent crimes and the search for the criminal. -
Formalizing TV Crime Series: Application and Evaluation of the Doxastic Preference Framework
Formalizing TV Crime Series: Application and Evaluation of the Doxastic Preference Framework Kevin M. van Andel 5686199 Bachelor thesis Credits: 9 EC Bachelor Opleiding Kunstmatige Intelligentie University of Amsterdam Faculty of Science Science Park 904 1098 XH Amsterdam Supervisor Prof. dr. Benedikt Löwe Institute for Logic, Language and Computation (ILLC) Faculty of Science University of Amsterdam Science Park 904 1098 XH Amsterdam June 25th, 2010 Abstract We aim at capturing the human notion of story understanding in a formal system. We apply a formal system, the Doxastic Preference Framework (DPF), to seven narratives from four episodes of CSI: Crime Scene In- vestigationTM. From an analysis of the formalizations we reach similar conclusions as in previous work. That is, all the formalizations of this commercial TV crime series consist of a small number of specific struc- tures called building blocks, and we identify a number of deficiencies and missing features in DPF. To illustrate the difficulty of proposing an experimental setup for human story understanding, we present a small experiment to verify whether two stories that are different in their formal structure, are also perceived as different by human subjects. Ideally, we want to know how well DPF captures the notion of human story under- standing. For this we refer to an existing proposal for an empirical eval- uation on the basis of comparison of two formal frameworks. Finally, we discuss future work on this subject.

Journal of Research on Women and Gender March 1, 2010
Journal of Research on Women and Gender March 1, 2010 Choice or Chance? Gender, Victimization, and Responsibility in CSI: Crime Scene Investigation Katherine Foss, Middle Tennessee State University In nine seasons of the television program CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, five out of the six original Crime Scene Investigators become crime victims themselves. Nick Stokes is kidnapped and buried alive. Catherine Willows is drugged, abducted, and left naked in a motel. A street gang assaults Greg Sanders after he interrupts their beating up a tourist. The “miniature killer” abducts Sara Sidle and pins her under a car in the desert. And finally, CSI Warrick Brown is murdered in a dark alley by a corrupt police officer. When CSIs become victims, the Las Vegas police force focuses all of its efforts on solving the crime, except in the abduction of Catherine, which goes unreported. In season eight, Catherine accepts a drink from an unknown patron at a local bar. A few scenes later, she wakes up naked and alone in a discount motel. Instead of calling the police, Catherine processes her body for physical evidence and calls Sara Sidle for assistance. Sara asks Catherine why she contaminated the evidence, making it “inadmissible” in court. Catherine replies, “I didn‟t want an official investigation. I just want to know what happened.” By knowingly covering up her crime, Catherine‟s actions suggest that she feels embarrassed and ashamed. The connection between Catherine‟s initial actions (accepting a drink from a stranger) to her desire to cover up the crime, particularly when the other CSIs themselves had reported their victimizations in other situations, suggests that she believes she should have protected herself from becoming victimized. -
