The ever so popular
TV show, The First 48 on AE.TV is one that you can count on for truth and
facts. The first 48 is a show about homicide detectives that respond to a crime
and try and solve it within the first 48 hours. These are real cases with the
real people...no actors or replaying of a scene. What you see is what you get!
This show focuses mostly on people that go from suspicion to suspect, eye
witnesses, and the interrogation, or interviewing. This really helps you see
what a detective does from the moment they get that call.
You can also get a sense of how they figure out what happened and who was
involved. They start with the facts that they have off hand and work their way
down from there. The one thing that I have started to notice sense we have
talked about it in class is the interrogations done by the detectives. In class
we learned that a detective will tell you anything you want to hear. They will
exhaust you mentally and physically, they will lie to you. Basically they will
do anything to get you to confess or turn on anyone. If you notices, in most
shows, the detective will either try and play friend, or yell and scream and
lie to get them to crack. I find it interesting to watch, now that you really
know what is going on.
I have posted the link to the First 48 TV shows. The one on the link I am
posting is about a homeless man who is murdered, and a 911 call that has gun
shots firing in the background. I urge you to watch the whole show and really
pay close attention to the detail that goes into being a detective, especially
the ones that do the interviews.
If you are interested after watching this show, you can watch many other episodes
with different stories. They get very interesting!

I am a really big fan of this show as well! I like how its about real cases, and theres no acting involved. You actually get to see what real police officers and detectives go through when they have a case. You get to see like all the steps that they go through. Usually all the cases are very interesting too. The ones I have seen usually dont get solved within the the first 48 hours though, and usually that doesnt change the outcome of the case, they still usually find the person, or at least the person that they think it is.
