Law & Order: Special Victims Unit: Difference between revisions

Line 6:
''[[Most Wonderful Sound|CHUNG CHUNG]]''
 
The first spin-off of the ''[[Law & Order]]'' franchise. Like the original, the show features detectives investigating crimes and attorneys prosecuting the offenders. Changes in scene are marked by black screens stating the place and date, as well as the [[Series Franchise|franchise]]'s trademark "chung chung" noise. However, ''SVU'' focuses more on the detectives and less on the attorneys, whereas the original show usually shifts from the investigation to the prosecution at the halfway point.
 
The SVU detectives investigate sex crimes, usually rapes, rape-homicides, and various forms of child abuse. The voiceover at the beginning identifies such crimes as "especially heinous," and the show often focuses on the characters' struggle to deal with unspeakable crimes and living victims.
