The incredible real-life cases behind TV's hit crime drama Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, including photos. The crimes, the suspects, the trials—as they really went down.

True Stories of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit focuses on twenty-five of the scandalous true crimes that real detectives have grappled with—the facts behind the fictionalized stories on the phenomenally popular TV show. Beyond the actual crimes, the entire criminal process is covered: from investigation and arrest to trial and verdict. This book reveals in-depth accounts of some of the most monstrous offenses recreated on the hit series, including the gripping story of a teenage love triangle that led to the murder of a young girl and the deadly confrontation between the FBI and David Koresh's cult that made national headlines.

Stopping these criminals is only the beginning. Confronting the deep psychological scars left on their victims is the real challenge. This collection offers fans of the show and those interested in crime-solving techniques a glimpse of the real stories and real people behind some of the most notable, notorious, and gut wrenching cases of sexually-based crimes in recent history.

Title: Very graphic
Review: Bought this for my husband, he liked it but said it was really graphic. Nothing left to the imagination. He’s retired police so if he says this it’s got to be pretty heavy.

Title: Interesting read for anyone intrigued with true crime
Review: I read this book in nearly two days. It’s a great read. It’s informative, descriptive and interesting, if you like learning about heinous crimes throughout the country.My only problem with the book is that it was published in 2007 so some statistics thrown in aren’t up to date. Or you don’t get the full story because the person is still awaiting trial. There are also a few spelling and grammatical errors that make it a slightly confusing at times, but not throughout. The biggest spelling mistakes were of names, so I just had to go back and double check that I was reading about the same person earlier.Otherwise, it really is a good read and I definitely recommend it to others.

Title: Anyone who loves SVU would love this book
Review: Anyone who loves SVU would love this book! It gives the true inspirations behind different episodes. I found it very enlightening as I've often wondered what episodes are based on real events. It's not exhaustive but it does cover quite a few episodes from quite a few seasons.

Title: Not what I expected, poor quality.
Review: Unfortunately this book was not what I expected. The pages are the color and texture of newspaper. It has enough stories, but not enough photographs for a true crime book. I'm hoping my daughter will overlook everything I just mentioned because I ordered it as a gift.

Title: Awesome book!
Review: Even watching these episodes at least 3 times a piece, after reading this book I yearned to re-watch them all over again! Very, very cool to see the real crimes behind each.

Review: Un livre passionnant EN ANGLAIS donc il faut lire l'anglais mais ce n'est pas vraiment compliqué à suivre et le vocabulaire est abordable. Un très bon livre, même si on ne connaît pas la série mais c'est un plus de voir où avoir vu les épisodes! Un bémol, on donne la saison mais pas le numéro de l'épisode alors en tant que français on doit chercher un peu
