criminalxminds So, I am in need of some CM-fans help! Currently I am studying Criminology and Criminal Justice at a University, and we were just given the opportunity for an extra credit assignment. (GEE YAY!) We have to write a short paper explaining how crime control was used in our favorite movie or T.V. crime based show. I know there's been evidence of crime control in Criminal Minds, but I want specific episodes. Can anyone give me the name of an episode or two that I can draw some examples from after describing the show? It would be much appreciated!

Similarly, 1x17, "A Real Rain" comes down fairly critically on the system of due process--it cites a lot of examples of obviously guilty people being found not guilty for one reason or another. On the whole, though, I think Criminal Minds is pretty pro-due process, as cop shows go.
