Law & Order: Special Victims Unit: Difference between revisions

* Stabler: pedophilia, incest (due to the many male offender-young female victim cases he has worked; it doesn't help that he has kids), {{spoiler|and now mental illness}}.

* Tutuola: drug abuse, race ([[Missing White Woman Syndrome|especially how some victims are treated compared to others]]).

* Cragen: alcoholism (since he is a recovering alcoholic and card-carrying member of AA).

* Huang: pseudo-psychology (it insults his intelligence) and, as of "Hardwired", gay-bashing, especially since {{spoiler|he's a gay man himself both in-universe and in real-life}}.

* [[Took a Level in Badass]]: Melinda Warner in "Shattered"; she resisted passing out and guided Olivia through keeping pressure on her wound and even ''draining her lung, which was filling with blood'' after {{spoiler|she was shot by an emotionally unstable mother whose son had just been killed}}.

* [[Torture Cellar]]: "Signature" had a pretty horrific one.

** In another episode, a girl is raped at gunpoint. She looks very young, and throughout the episode she is is consistently portrayed as a teenager who is not yet fully adult - neither intellectually nor emotionally. This is not held against her, instead it simply underscores how vulnerable she is. However, she happens to be 19, so the prosecution must prove that she didn't consent. And of course, the defense has [[Blatant Lies]] about the gun as one of their top priorities.

* [[Trailers Always Lie]]: Previews made it seem like Tutuola was going [[Vigilante Man]] on the gay-bashers who beat his son's fiancee into a coma; actually {{spoiler|the gay-bashers were found fairly quickly and the real story was about a copy-cat}}.
