The topic I decided on is "does the CSI effect exist?". I decided on this topic because the field of science I would like to go into is forensic science. This particular effect on the courtroom is not proven to exist but some people think it does.
So far, what I know is that jurors are expecting "perfect evidence" and that its getting harder to convict individuals because the crime labs do not have the evidence that they think is enough proof. The source of this effect can be discussed in the paper and why it could be effecting the jurors. I have a few articles so far and a former CSI that I can talk to about the effect.
I do not know all the possible sources of the effect and would like to learn about them. I also want to find out if the effect actually exist or not.
