They also investigate the abuses of children, the disabled and elderly victims of non-sexual crimes who require specialist handling, all while trying to balance the effects of the investigation on their own lives as they try not to let the dark side of these crimes affect them. 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.<a href="#cite_note-NPR_2009-09-29-14">[12]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Cast_and_characters">Cast and characters</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Law_%26_Order:_Special_Victims_Unit&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Cast and characters">edit</a>]</div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/List_of_Law_%26_Order:_Special_Victims_Unit_characters" title="List of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit characters">List of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit characters</a></div> Originally, the show focused around the detective pairing of <a href="/wiki/Elliot_Stabler" title="Elliot Stabler">Elliot Stabler</a> (<a href="/wiki/Christopher_Meloni" title="Christopher Meloni">Christopher Meloni</a>) and <a href="/wiki/Olivia_Benson" title="Olivia Benson">Olivia Benson</a> (<a href="/wiki/Mariska_Hargitay" title="Mariska Hargitay">Mariska Hargitay</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 has seen in his career. Meanwhile, Benson's difficult past as the child of a rape victim is the reason she joined the unit. Backing them up are Detective <a href="/wiki/John_Munch" title="John Munch">John Munch</a> (<a href="/wiki/Richard_Belzer" title="Richard Belzer">Richard Belzer</a>) and his first partner, <a href="/wiki/Brian_Cassidy" title="Brian Cassidy">Brian Cassidy</a> (<a href="/wiki/Dean_Winters" title="Dean Winters">Dean Winters</a>). Munch is a transfer from Baltimore's homicide unit, who brings his acerbic wit, conspiracy theories, and street-honed investigative skills; 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> (<a href="/wiki/Michelle_Hurd" title="Michelle Hurd">Michelle Hurd</a>) and Ken Briscoe (Chris Orbach).<a href="#cite_note-Payback-13">[11]</a> After thirteen episodes, Cassidy gets transferred to the narcotics division because of his inability to work well on the cases and the fact that they reminded him too much of his childhood abuse. As a result, Jeffries gets partnered up with Munch for the remainder of season one and Briscoe was phased out. In the beginning of season two, Jeffries leaves the unit following an incident with the Morris Commission and Munch gets permanently partnered up with Detective <a href="/wiki/Fin_Tutuola" title="Fin Tutuola">Odafin "Fin" Tutuola</a> (<a href="/wiki/Ice-T" title="Ice-T">Ice-T</a>), whose unique yet sometimes vulgar sense of humor and investigative experience make him a formidable match for Munch.<a href="#cite_note-Limitations-15">[13]</a> Brooklyn SVU Detective <a href="/wiki/Chester_Lake_(Law_%26_Order)" class="mw-redirect" title="Chester Lake (Law & Order)">Chester Lake</a> (<a href="/wiki/Adam_Beach" title="Adam Beach">Adam Beach</a>) would assist on several Manhattan cases during the eighth season and then join during season nine; Lake would then depart at the season's end after being arrested for murdering a crooked cop who had gotten away with rape. These detectives were supervised by veteran Captain <a href="/wiki/Donald_Cragen" title="Donald Cragen">Donald Cragen</a> (<a href="/wiki/Dann_Florek" title="Dann Florek">Dann Florek</a>), who oversaw the team for seasons 1–15 and was previously the commanding officer of the Manhattan North Homicide precinct on the first 3 seasons of <a href="/wiki/Law_%26_Order" title="Law & Order">Law & Order</a>. Cragen's tough-but-supportive approach to the team's complex cases guides the squad through the challenges they face every day. Also assisting the Special Victims Unit, is FBI Special Agent Dr. George Huang (<a href="/wiki/BD_Wong" title="BD Wong">BD Wong</a>) who helps keep the officers sane in a field that could drive ordinary people mad, whilst also serving as the squad's resident criminal profiler, his insights into the criminal mind have often helped the officers to crack the toughest perps.

Cabot remained the ADA through the second half of season 10. 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 11. Gillian Hardwicke (<a href="/wiki/Melissa_Sagemiller" title="Melissa Sagemiller">Melissa Sagemiller</a>) served as the SVU's ADA during season 12, while Novak would return for a guest appearance after completing her suspension near the end of the season. Paxton would also return for one more appearance in the season, during which she is brutally murdered by a rapist/murderer, but manages to leave behind vital evidence to assure his conviction. In season 13, both Cabot and Novak returned as ADAs. From the beginning of season 14, ADA <a href="/wiki/Rafael_Barba" title="Rafael Barba">Rafael Barba</a> (<a href="/wiki/Ra%C3%BAl_Esparza" title="Raúl Esparza">Raúl Esparza</a>) was SVU's prosecutor, until leaving halfway through season 19 following the death of an infant. <a href="/wiki/Chicago_Justice" title="Chicago Justice">Chicago Justice</a>'s <a href="/wiki/Peter_Stone_(Chicago_and_Law_%26_Order_character)" class="mw-redirect" title="Peter Stone (Chicago and Law & Order character)">Peter Stone</a> (<a href="/wiki/Philip_Winchester" title="Philip Winchester">Philip Winchester</a>) became SVU's ADA after <a href="/wiki/Chicago_Justice" title="Chicago Justice">Chicago Justice</a> was canceled after only one season. At the end of season 20, Stone decided to leave due to some of the cases being too much for him to handle. From there, former SVU Detective <a href="/wiki/Dominick_Carisi_Jr." class="mw-redirect" title="Dominick Carisi Jr.">Dominick Carisi Jr.</a> (<a href="/wiki/Peter_Scanavino" title="Peter Scanavino">Peter Scanavino</a>) takes his place at the start of season 21.<a href="#cite_note-I'm_Going_to_Make_You_a_Star-17">[15]</a> In season 13, big changes happen when Stabler retires in the aftermath of the season 12 finale, until he reappeared in season 22, which led him to join NYPD's Organized Crime Control Bureau in <a href="/wiki/Law_%26_Order:_Organized_Crime" title="Law & Order: Organized Crime">Law & Order: Organized Crime</a>. Huang also departed at the same time after being reassigned to Oklahoma City, but has returned for occasional guest appearances.

Amaro brought empathy to his cases while dealing with a stressful home life, while Rollins had dogged persistence and instincts help her close cases, but also secrets from her past that could derail her career. During season 15, both Munch and Cragen retired from the NYPD, leaving Benson, after being promoted to Sergeant, to take control of the unit; she would later be promoted to Lieutenant at the start of season 17 and then Captain at the start of season 21. Season 16 was another period of change with the introduction of Carisi at the beginning and the departure of Amaro at the end, with the latter relocating to California to be near his moved children after being wounded in the line of duty and learning that previous instances of misconduct have cost him any chance for advancement in the department. Also introduced in season 16 was Deputy Chief William Dodds (<a href="/wiki/Peter_Gallagher" title="Peter Gallagher">Peter Gallagher</a>), who served as commanding officer for the Special Victims Units in all five boroughs of New York. Dodds' son Mike (<a href="/wiki/Andy_Karl" title="Andy Karl">Andy Karl</a>) transfers into Special Victims as Sergeant in season 17, becoming Benson's second-in-command until his death at the end of the season; Fin later passes the Sergeant's exam during season 18 and is officially promoted in Mike's place in season 19. Following Carisi's move to the DA's office in season 21, Vice Officer Katriona "Kat" Tamin (<a href="/wiki/Jamie_Gray_Hyder" title="Jamie Gray Hyder">Jamie Gray Hyder</a>) joined the team after assisting on several cases, eventually getting promoted to detective. Dodds also departed the series at the start of the season due to some issues in the case regarding a mogul raping countless women, allowing new deputy chief Christian Garland (<a href="/wiki/Demore_Barnes" title="Demore Barnes">Demore Barnes</a>) to take his place. At the start of season 23, Tamin and Garland both resigned from the NYPD after becoming disillusioned with the legal system's failures and the systemic bias within the department, with Tamin being replaced by Detective Joe Velasco (<a href="/wiki/Octavio_Pisano" title="Octavio Pisano">Octavio Pisano</a>). Chief Tommy McGrath (<a href="/wiki/Terry_Serpico" title="Terry Serpico">Terry Serpico</a>) took over Garland's position until he could find a permanent deputy chief for SVU. At the beginning of season 24, Detective Grace Muncy (<a href="/wiki/Molly_Burnett" title="Molly Burnett">Molly Burnett</a>) joined SVU after solving a case that involves a teenage Dominican gang, while Rollins resigned from SVU and the NYPD halfway through the season after accepting an offer from Carisi's old colleague to teach at <a href="/wiki/Fordham_University" title="Fordham University">Fordham University</a>. SVU also brought in Detectives Terry Bruno (<a href="/wiki/Kevin_Kane_(actor)" title="Kevin Kane (actor)">Kevin Kane</a>) and Tonie Churlish (Jasmine Batchelor) from their Brooklyn counterparts. Muncy later departed at the end of the season to work on a DEA task force and Churlish also left during the same time. In season 25, McGrath was replaced as chief after crossing multiple lines in his interference with his daughter's rape case, and IAB Captain Renee Curry (Aime Donna Kelly) joined SVU in hopes of making changes. Shortly afterwards, FBI agent Shannah Sykes (<a href="/wiki/Jordana_Spiro" title="Jordana Spiro">Jordana Spiro</a>) was put on loan to SVU after helping them rescue abducted girl Maddie Flynn.<a href="#cite_note-18">[16]</a> Sykes later left SVU at the season's end after solving the case of her missing sister, which ended up hitting her too close to home, and at the start of season 26, former Homicide detective Kate Silva (<a href="/wiki/Juliana_Aid%C3%A9n_Martinez" title="Juliana Aidén Martinez">Juliana Aidén Martinez</a>) joins the unit. Additionally, Rollins, after consulting on several cases following her departure, returns to the NYPD with a promotion to Sergeant and assignment as CO of the department's Intelligence Unit. <table

Belzer requested his manager to call Wolf and pitch the idea for Belzer's character from Homicide, 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 Homicide crossovers.

The idea was reconfigured, but to have Munch on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit instead.<a href="#cite_note-Green_and_Dawn_13-31">[29]</a> Since the character of Munch was inspired by <a href="/wiki/David_Simon" title="David Simon">David Simon</a>'s depiction of Detective Sergeant Jay Landsman and developed for Homicide by <a href="/wiki/Tom_Fontana" title="Tom Fontana">Tom Fontana</a> and <a href="/wiki/Barry_Levinson" title="Barry Levinson">Barry Levinson</a>, the addition of Munch to the cast required the consent of all three. 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.<a href="#cite_note-Green_and_Dawn_150-32">[30]</a> <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, SVU, only if you make Dean Winters my partner."<a href="#cite_note-Green_and_Dawn_13-31">[29]</a> 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 <a href="/wiki/Oz_(TV_series)" title="Oz (TV series)">Oz</a>.

Ice-T originally agreed to do only four episodes of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, but he quickly gained affection for the ensemble nature of the cast.

From season two onwards, the format was changed to be more faithful to the original Law & Order concept by including court cases. <a href="/wiki/Stephanie_March" title="Stephanie March">Stephanie March</a> had little television experience before being cast on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, 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.
