This is not a still from a Children’s Television Workshop-produced season of Dexter.

Instead, it’s a shot from inside a forensic science training center at the University of Glamorgan in South Wales. The Economist visited the school for a story on “The CSI Effect”—that unfortunate legal train wreck that is the result of jury pools being simultaneously over-informed, under-informed and misinformed about forensic investigation science by prime-time cop shows. And, apparently, the same television habits that make juries expect a 100%, no-question DNA match for every case is also giving criminals ideas for evading the law.
