<P>The idea for <I>Law & Order: Special.

<P>The original title of the show was <I>Sex Crimes</I>, reflecting the sexual nature of the crimes depicted on the show. Initially there was concern among the producers that, should <I>Sex Crimes</I> fail, identifying the new show with the <I>Law & Order</I> franchise could hurt the original show. Additionally, <A href="/wiki/Ted_Kotcheff" title="Ted Kotcheff">Ted Kotcheff</A> wanted to create a new series that was not dependent upon the original series for success.

<P>Casting for the lead characters of <I>Law & Order: Special Victims Unit</I> occurred in the spring of 1999. Dick Wolf, along with officials from NBC and Studios USA were at the final auditions for the two leads at <A href="/wiki/Rockefeller_Center" title="Rockefeller Center">Rockefeller Center</A>. The last round had been narrowed down to seven finalists. For the female lead, Detective <A href="/wiki/Olivia_Benson" title="Olivia Benson">Olivia Benson</A>, actresses <A href="/wiki/Samantha_Mathis" title="Samantha Mathis">Samantha Mathis</A>, <A href="/wiki/Reiko_Aylesworth" title="Reiko Aylesworth">Reiko Aylesworth</A>, and <A href="/wiki/Mariska_Hargitay" title="Mariska Hargitay">Mariska Hargitay</A> were being considered. For the male role, Detective <A href="/wiki/Elliot_Stabler" title="Elliot Stabler">Elliot Stabler</A>, the finalists were <A href="/wiki/Tim_Matheson" title="Tim Matheson">Tim Matheson</A>, <A href="/wiki/John_Slattery" title="John Slattery">John Slattery</A>, <A href="/wiki/Nick_Chinlund" title="Nick Chinlund">Nick Chinlund</A>, and <A href="/wiki/Christopher_Meloni" title="Christopher Meloni">Christopher Meloni</A>. Hargitay and Meloni had auditioned in the final round together and, after the actors left, there was a moment of dead silence, after which Wolf blurted out, "Oh well. There's no doubt who we should choose—Hargitay and Meloni." Wolf believed the duo had the perfect chemistry together from the first time he saw them together, and they ended up being his first choice. <A href="/wiki/Garth_Ancier" title="Garth Ancier">Garth Ancier</A>, then head of NBC Entertainment, agreed, and the rest of the panel assembled began voicing their assent.<SUP id="cite_ref-Green_and_Dawn_11_30-0" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-Green_and_Dawn_11-30">[30]</A></SUP></P>
<P>The first actor to be cast for the show was <A href="/wiki/Dann_Florek" title="Dann Florek">Dann Florek</A>. Florek had originated the character of Captain <A href="/wiki/Donald_Cragen" title="Donald Cragen">Don Cragen</A> in the 1988 pilot for <I>Law & Order</I> and played the character for the first three seasons of the show until he was fired on the orders of network executives, who wanted to add female characters to the all male primary cast. He maintained a friendly relationship with Wolf, however, and went on to direct three episodes of the original series as well as to occasionally guest star on the show. Shortly after Florek reprised his role for <I><A href="/wiki/Exiled:_A_Law_%26_Order_Movie" title="Exiled: A Law & Order Movie">Exiled: A Law & Order Movie</A></I>, he received a call to be on <I>Sex Crimes</I>.<SUP id="cite_ref-Green_and_Dawn_145-146_31-0" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-Green_and_Dawn_145-146-31">[31]</A></SUP> Initially reluctant, he eventually agreed to star on the show as Cragen on the assurance that he would not be asked to audition for the role.<SUP id="cite_ref-Green_and_Dawn_13_32-0" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-Green_and_Dawn_13-32">[32]</A></SUP></P>
<P>Shortly after the cancellation of <I><A href="/wiki/Homicide:_Life_on_the_Street" title="Homicide: Life on the Street">Homicide: Life on the Street</A></I>, <A href="/wiki/Richard_Belzer" title="Richard Belzer">Richard Belzer</A> heard that <A href="/wiki/Benjamin_Bratt" title="Benjamin Bratt">Benjamin Bratt</A> had left <I>Law & Order</I>. Belzer requested his manager to call Wolf and pitch the idea for Belzer's character from <I>Homicide</I>, Detective <A href="/wiki/John_Munch" title="John Munch">John Munch</A>, to become the new partner of <A href="/wiki/Jerry_Orbach" title="Jerry Orbach">Jerry Orbach</A>'s character, Detective <A href="/wiki/Lennie_Briscoe" title="Lennie Briscoe">Lennie Briscoe</A>, since they had previously teamed in three <I>Homicide</I> crossovers.

The appropriate agreements were reached and, while Fontana and Levinson agreed to waive their royalty rights, contracts with Simon required that he be paid royalties for any new show in which Munch is a main character; as a result, Simon receives royalties every time Munch appears in an episode of the show.<SUP id="cite_ref-Green_and_Dawn_150_33-0" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-Green_and_Dawn_150-33">[33]</A></SUP></P>
<P><A href="/wiki/Dean_Winters" title="Dean Winters">Dean Winters</A> was cast as Munch's partner, <A href="/wiki/Brian_Cassidy" title="Brian Cassidy">Brian Cassidy</A>, at the insistence of Belzer. Belzer looked at Winters as a sort of little brother, and told Wolf, "Well, I'll do this new show of yours, <I>SVU</I>, only if you make Dean Winters my partner."<SUP id="cite_ref-Green_and_Dawn_13_32-2" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-Green_and_Dawn_13-32">[32]</A></SUP> Wolf did make Winters Belzer's partner, but he was contractually obligated to his other show at the time, the <A href="/wiki/HBO" title="HBO">HBO</A> drama <I><A href="/wiki/Oz_(TV_series)" title="Oz (TV series)">Oz</A></I>. Since the role on <I>Law & Order: Special Victims Unit</I> was only initially meant to be a few episodes, Winters was forced to leave when it was time to film <I>Oz</I> again. Winters returned for the Season 13 finale, "<A href="/wiki/Rhodium_Nights" title="Rhodium Nights">Rhodium Nights</A>," reprising his role as Cassidy. He also appeared (as Cassidy) on the two-part Season 14 premiere "<A href="/wiki/Lost_Reputation" title="Lost Reputation">Lost Reputation</A>"/<A href="/wiki/Above_Suspicion_(Law_%26_Order:_Special_Victims_Unit)" title="Above Suspicion (Law & Order: Special Victims Unit)">"Above Suspicion"</A>.<SUP id="cite_ref-Green_and_Dawn_157_34-0" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-Green_and_Dawn_157-34">[34]</A></SUP> He subsequently became a recurring character into season 15. The void left by Winters's departure was filled for the remainder of the season by <A href="/wiki/Michelle_Hurd" title="Michelle Hurd">Michelle Hurd</A> as Detective <A href="/wiki/Monique_Jeffries" title="Monique Jeffries">Monique Jeffries</A>, a character who Wolf promised that, despite starting out as a minor character with one scene in the pilot, would eventually develop. Hurd left the show at the beginning of season two to join the cast of <I><A href="/wiki/Leap_Years" title="Leap Years">Leap Years</A></I>.<SUP id="cite_ref-Green_and_Dawn_154-156_35-0" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-Green_and_Dawn_154-156-35">[35]</A></SUP> Munch's permanent partner came in the form of <A href="/wiki/Rapping" title="Rapping">rapper</A>-turned-actor <A href="/wiki/Ice-T" title="Ice-T">Ice-T</A>, who had previously worked with Wolf on <I><A href="/wiki/New_York_Undercover" title="New York Undercover">New York Undercover</A></I> and <I><A href="/wiki/Exiled:_A_Law_%26_Order_Movie" title="Exiled: A Law & Order Movie">Exiled</A></I>. Ice-T originally agreed to do only four episodes of <I>Law & Order: Special Victims Unit</I>, but he quickly gained affection for the ensemble nature of the cast. He relocated to New York City before his four-episode contract was up and remained with the show as Munch's permanent partner, Detective <A href="/wiki/Fin_Tutuola" title="Fin Tutuola">Odafin "Fin" Tutuola</A>.<SUP id="cite_ref-Green_and_Dawn_152-154_36-0" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-Green_and_Dawn_152-154-36">[36]</A></SUP></P>
<P>Initially, the show focused exclusively on the policework of the detectives in the Special Victims Unit of the 16th precinct, with members of the District Attorney's office occasionally appearing as guest roles crossing over from the original <I>Law & Order</I>. From season two onwards, the format was changed to be more faithful to the original <I>Law & Order</I> concept by including court cases. <A href="/wiki/Stephanie_March" title="Stephanie March">Stephanie March</A> had little television experience before being cast on <I>Law & Order: Special Victims Unit</I>, nor did she watch much TV. Nevertheless, March was cast as Assistant District Attorney <A href="/wiki/Alexandra_Cabot" title="Alexandra Cabot">Alexandra Cabot</A> at the beginning of season two but still believed that, due to the grim nature of the series, it would be short-lived. She stayed with the series for three seasons, however, and left when she believed she had reached the natural conclusion of the character's development. She would later reprise the character as a guest appearance in season six and as a regular character on the short-lived Wolf series, <I><A href="/wiki/Conviction_(2006_TV_series)" title="Conviction (2006 TV series)">Conviction</A></I>, where she was promised more to do. <A href="/wiki/Diane_Neal" title="Diane Neal">Diane Neal</A> had previously guest starred on <I>Law & Order: Special Victims Unit</I> in season three before being cast as Cabot's replacement, <A href="/wiki/Casey_Novak" title="Casey Novak">Casey Novak</A>, in season five.

<DIV>In the criminal justice system, sexually based offenses are considered especially heinous. In New York City, the dedicated detectives who investigate these vicious felonies are members of an elite squad known as the Special Victims Unit. These are their stories.</DIV>
</DIV>
<CITE style="display: block; text-align: left;">          – Opening narration spoken by <A href="/wiki/Steven_Zirnkilton" title="Steven Zirnkilton">Steven Zirnkilton</A><SUP id="cite_ref-Payback_64-0" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-Payback-64">[58]</A></SUP></CITE></DIV>
<P>Based out of the <A href="/wiki/New_York_City_Police_Department" title="New York City Police Department">New York City Police Department</A>'s 16th precinct in Manhattan, <I>Law & Order: Special Victims Unit</I> delves into the dark side of the New York underworld as the detectives of a new elite force, the <A href="/wiki/Special_Victims_Unit" title="Special Victims Unit">Special Victims Unit</A> (SVU for short), investigate and prosecute various sexually-oriented crimes including rape, pedophilia, and domestic violence. They also investigate the abuses of children, the disabled and elderly victims of non-sexual crimes who require specialist handling. All the while trying to balance the effects of the investigation on their own lives. Its stories also touch on the political and societal issues associated with gender identity, sexual preferences, and equality rights. While the victim is often murdered, this is not always the case, and victims frequently play prominent roles in episodes. The unit also works with the Manhattan District Attorney's office as they prosecute cases and seek justice for SVU's victims and survivors with precision and a passion to win and bring closure to the intense investigations. The series often uses stories that are "ripped from the headlines" or based on real crimes. Such episodes take a real crime and fictionalize it by changing some details.<SUP id="cite_ref-NPR_2009-09-29_65-0" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-NPR_2009-09-29-65">[59]</A></SUP></P>
<P>Originally the show focused around the detective pairings of <A href="/wiki/Elliot_Stabler" title="Elliot Stabler">Elliot Stabler</A> & <A href="/wiki/Olivia_Benson" title="Olivia Benson">Olivia Benson</A> and <A href="/wiki/John_Munch" title="John Munch">John Munch</A> & <A href="/wiki/Brian_Cassidy" title="Brian Cassidy">Brian Cassidy</A>. Stabler is a seasoned veteran of the unit who has seen it all and tries his best to protect his family from the horrors he sees every day. His partner Benson's difficult past as the child of a rape victim is the reason she joined the unit. Backing them up is John Munch, and his first partner Brian Cassidy. Munch is a transfer from Baltimore's homicide unit, who brings his acerbic wit, conspiracy theories, and street-honed investigative skills. Whilst Cassidy is young and eager to learn from his fellow detectives. These two detective teams received support from Detectives <A href="/wiki/Monique_Jeffries" title="Monique Jeffries">Monique Jeffries</A> and Ken Briscoe.<SUP id="cite_ref-Payback_64-1" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-Payback-64">[58]</A></SUP> When Cassidy transferred to Narcotics after thirteen episodes, Jeffries was partnered with Munch for the remaining of Season One and Briscoe was phased out. In the beginning of season two, Munch was then permanently partnered with Detective <A href="/wiki/Fin_Tutuola" title="Fin Tutuola">Odafin "Fin" Tutuola</A>, whose unique yet sometimes vulgar sense of humor and investigative experience make him a formidable match for Munch.<SUP id="cite_ref-Limitations_66-0" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-Limitations-66">[60]</A></SUP> These detectives were supervised by veteran Captain <A href="/wiki/Donald_Cragen" title="Donald Cragen">Donald Cragen</A> who oversaw the team from seasons 1–15. Cragen's tough-but-supportive approach to the team's complex cases guides the squad through the challenges they face every day. Also on the team's payroll is FBI Special Agent Dr. George Huang and Medical Examiner Dr. Melinda Warner. As the resident psychiatrist for the Special Victims Unit, Huang helps keep the officers sane in a field that could drive ordinary people mad. He has also served as the squad's resident criminal profiler, and his insights into the criminal mind have often helped the officers to crack the toughest perps, whilst Warner has become an integral part of the Manhattan Special Victims Unit, and her personal skills have contributed to the unit's high success rate in closing cases.</P>
<P>The Unit did not receive a full-time assistant district attorney until season two, when <A href="/wiki/Alexandra_Cabot" title="Alexandra Cabot">Alexandra Cabot</A> was assigned to work with the detectives.<SUP id="cite_ref-Wrong_is_Right_67-0" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-Wrong_is_Right-67">[61]</A></SUP> After Cabot's departure in season five, she was replaced by <A href="/wiki/Casey_Novak" title="Casey Novak">Casey Novak</A>, who remained as the ADA until the end of season nine. <A href="/wiki/Kim_Greylek" title="Kim Greylek">Kim Greylek</A> became the permanent ADA in the season ten premiere, until Cabot made a return midway through that season when Greylek departed. Cabot remained the ADA through the second half of season eleven. After Cabot's departure, the ADA void was filled by Sonya Paxton (<A href="/wiki/Christine_Lahti" title="Christine Lahti">Christine Lahti</A>) and Jo Marlowe (<A href="/wiki/Sharon_Stone" title="Sharon Stone">Sharon Stone</A>) until the conclusion of season eleven. Gillian Hardwicke served as the SVU ADA during season twelve. In season thirteen, both Cabot and Novak returned as ADAs and since the beginning of season fourteen, ADA <A href="/wiki/Rafael_Barba" title="Rafael Barba">Rafael Barba</A> has been SVU's prosecutor.</P>
<P>In season 13 other big changes happened when Stabler left in the season twelve finale. Detectives <A href="/wiki/Nick_Amaro" title="Nick Amaro">Nick Amaro</A> and <A href="/wiki/Amanda_Rollins" title="Amanda Rollins">Amanda Rollins</A> joined the team filling the void left by Stabler. Amaro brings empathy to his cases while dealing with a stressful home life, whilst Rollins' dogged persistence and instincts help her close cases, but her secrets could derail her career. In the current seasons the Manhattan SVU is now run by Lieutenant Olivia Benson.</P>

<P><I>Law & Order: Special Victims Unit</I> premiered on Monday, September 20, 1999. After nine episodes, the show was moved to Friday nights, where it found its audience and following its first and second seasons became a Top 20-overall show, overcoming the "<A href="/wiki/Friday_night_death_slot" title="Friday night death slot">Friday night death slot</A>" phenomenon. Beginning with the season five, the show aired on Tuesdays to compete with CBS' <I><A href="/wiki/Judging_Amy" title="Judging Amy">Judging Amy</A></I> and ABC's <I><A href="/wiki/NYPD_Blue" title="NYPD Blue">NYPD Blue</A></I>. In its later years, <I>Law & Order: Special Victims Unit</I> consistently outperformed <I>Law & Order</I> in the Nielsen ratings for first run episodes until the latter's cancellation in 2010.</P>
