Law and Order SVU

Law and Order SVU "Ripped from the Headlines" - what are the real cases from L&O:SVU?

jenstudent posted on Sep 15, 2008 at 05:57PM
Hello,

I am a student completing my undergraduate thesis on the comparison between L&O:SVU episodes and the real cases they are modeled after, in SEASON SEVEN. I know there is a book called "True Stories of Law and Order: Special Victims Unit", which has been useful in detailing the real cases of five (of the twenty-two episodes) during SEASON SEVEN. I am wondering if anyone knows personally, or of another resource, which details where the L&O:SVU episodes came from (specifically, SEASON SEVEN)?

Thank-you, Jen

In the season 7 ep of '911' (episode 3 i think)
they at first believe the girl was a hoax, like the in 2004 where a girl called Jessica rang the police with complete details of an abuse case. It turned out it was a 17 year old girl and it never happened. If you follow the link below it gives more details.
:)
good luck with your undergrad!

Hi - I can't find any answers for this. I am also looking for tghe same information - so any kind of website / resource which would list all the "Ripped from the headlines" episodes from all seasons would really help.

Please please help if you can,

Thnxs

Hi,

I don't really know any more episodes, but I do have a link for you. It's also about SVU cases and real cases, but not exactly the same as your topic. Maybe this is completely useless for you, but I still thought I'd share this link with you, just in case. link is the link.

Good luck with your thesis!

Love,

Eline

I heard the episode 'Authority' was based on a true story.
A man impersonating a detective actually was calling fast food restruants (sp?) and telling the managers to strip-search employees. D;

I'm doing the same paper, only it doesn't have to just be season seven, and the real case it's based on has to be from NYC. I'd appreciate any help!
