History WMG / LawAndOrderSpecialVictimsUnit

It pretty much goes like this ''Series/SesameStreet'' is or has pretty much a [[TheLandBeforeTime Great Valley]] like haven/secured neighborhood for all that remains of New York City's children within the svuniverse and probably was a natural habitat for its [[{{Muppets}} non human residents]] which pretty much explains why most of its residents appear to live in blissful ignorance (at least its children and child like muppets) of the far more lethal and torturous world around them.

[[WMG: SVU takes place in a alternate universe New York ala SinCity or [[TheDCU modern Earth-1 New York]]]]

Therefore, SVU (and by extension the entire universe of Law & Order) takes place in an alternate nightmarish universe where there really are THAT many excessively violent criminals and predators in the world. SVU's version of NYC is only slightly less evil than FrankMiller's SinCity, with significantly more sex but fewer gang fights and public shootings.

The crime rate is similar to that of DCComics's Metropolis and Gotham City of the 1930s and 40s. Thus, the [=SVUniverse=] is a possible "real life" version/basis/Hypertime version of Earth-1 and its fictional east coast supercities. After all, in the earliest issues of Franchise/{{Superman}} and Franchise/{{Batman}}, their respective cities were "dens of corruption" where extreme forms of criminality and violence ran so rampant that only a superpowered or super intelligent crimefighter could stop them.

That makes sense to since SVU New York (City or State) would be essentially abandoned and most of the States prisons full up there would be reason to turn all that empty space into something more practical also by the time it happened enough of the TwentyMinutesInTheFuture timeline of the film would have passed to coincide.

Come on now, a Main/GodModeSue like him has all sorts of tricks up his sleeve and then some. [[spoiler:He got away and they Main/NeverFoundTheBody.]] Also, he's Main/RobinWilliams. He's coming back, [[Main/ThisIsTVTropesBitch bitches]].

Think about it how many times on this show have suspects died while members of the SVU were around, while they might clam it was self defense because they did not know that the brightly colored gun the man had was fake or that the person committed suicide with a small knife he brought with him into interrogation, but there are too many body’s for it to be a coincidence

Eliot Stabler is the main killer he has admitted to wanting to kill offenders before and has “accidently” done it a number of times because he thinks it has to be done. He has well known anger issues and because of his loyalty he is kept in the SVU

Olivia Bensen is more stable and keeps Eliot on a leash so he will not go off, but she is also a killer and if the situation calls for it she can be just as bad, but usually in a roundabout way now directly attacking the person. She knows to much to leave even after it becomes personal for her

Odafin Tutuola is violent like Elliot but a bit comer personally, he has a black and white view of morality that lends itself well to killers, he douse not exactly like the job and at one time wanting to transfer but because he can dispense justice he stays in the SVU

Theory spawned by someone on the USANetwork forum. He's the only one with curls. He might be blonde; but Kathy and all the girls' hair is straggly to straight, even Lizzie when she was really young, Dickie has a bowl job and Elliot is balding. And Kathy never did explicitly answer Elliot's question.

* Would certainly explain why she always ''HAS'' to be the one whose right and never wrong. Although I would that Munch is actually a figment of her mind, but with an almost dangerous GenreSavvy perception on reality that he hides beneath his 'strange' conspiracies.

*** Huang does not strike me as the type that would go out and kill people he is too much of a voyeur, he is the type of person that would seek out and find a serial killer befriend him observe his behavior, maybe setup a few people for him to kill, but he would not kill them himself he is to cerebral.

X-files, The Wire, Homicide: Life on the Streets, Law and Order, Arrested Development, Sesame Street, and their respective spinoffs all share the same universe since Munch has appeared on each of them.

* However when one considers the top of this pages theory and connect it along with this one its [[DudeNotFunny not really all that funny at all]] and gives it pretty strong doses of NightmareFuel and FridgeHorror if you think about it. Which pretty much means..

** Oh my god, Elliot Stable is a [[Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer VAMPIRE!]]

Given that their behavior in most episodes after Season 1 would have resulted in both Stabler and Benson being removed from the Special Victim's Unit and probably removed from the NYPD,they continue soldiering into new areas of lawlessness and incompetence.

* Huang, after the numerous head injuries described earlier on the page, loses it and becomes a serial killer who gets off on raping and murdering ADAs. He's already killed one woman (Marlowe, hence her unexplained disappearance) in the past, but has fought his urges since then, until a final head injury destroys his ability to control his actions. His second target is Casey Novak, who has taken to living on the streets because she can't find work. His next target is Alex, who has just returned to the US.

[[WMG: The SVU is actually stuck in a {{Ravenloft}}-style EpiphanicPrison.]]

[[WMG: In the SVU verse, it is not against the law for a woman to sexualy assualt a man]]
In one episode, a women drugs men and shocks them with cattle prods to make them ejaculate so she can collect thier sperm. As pointed out on the JBM page, she is not arrested for this. In a much more recent episode, a woman anal rapes two men as revenge for having been raped by them when she was younger. She too, is not charged for this and the team focus on why she did it. Clearly, the SVU world is even more Crapsack the first thought.

[[WMG: Jack [=McCoy=] invalidated Dr. Huang's marriage in the Law&Order episode "Gov Love."]]

[[WMG: SVU is set in the same universe as ''JudgeDredd''.]]

[[WMG: Elliot is [[{{Oz}} Chris Keller]] under an assumed name.]]

* In response to the above poster, I too believe that Elliot Stabler is Chris Keller from Oz. However, rather than escaping, Keller, who if I remember correctly was facing the death penalty for his role in Schillinger's death, took advantage of an obscure law on the book and decided to "take the black" ''ASongOfIceAndFire''. As there is no more Night Watch in the 20th century he being a multiple rapist, murderer, and sexual predator was assigned, after intense therapy with Dr. Huang, to the SVU unit to atone for his past crimes. In regards to the above poster, he was given the identity of dead marine Elliot Stabler and his family. This explains why in one episode when Elliot went undercover as a rapist on parole to catch a sexual predator, Huang was worried that Elliot was getting too into his character and his "Keller" person would return.

And Stabler is a relative of Dredd. C'mon, just compare the [[LanternJawOfJustice chins]].

** A court/legal proceeding show that routinely ignores the law and features weirdly incapable protagonists who still manage to get the job done every time? SVU takes place in the same universe as PhoenixWright.

For years, as both a serious commentary and a sarcastic joke, fans, critics, and casual viewers have said that the number of extreme sexual crimes in the [[TheVerse SVUniverse]] was ridiculous and probably higher then the entire national high crime average of the RealLife entire continental United States. A few years later, this was backed up by RealLife Statistics from the FBI and several other law enforcement agencies. [[hottip:*: In case you are wondering, RealLife NYC has a murder rate of about 500 a year and 843 forcible rapes a year.]]

[[WMG: Was anyone else pissed off by Influence. ]]

They let a sociopath go free after she killed a bunch of children. If this was suppose to be a depiction of someone with bi-polar disorder they did a horrible job because I don’t think someone with BP would be so calculating in their responses. She followed a set pattern every time she did something wrong. First she would blame someone else. Then when that lie blew up in her face she cried her eyes out to get others to feel sorry for her. Also why didn’t the parents of the children she killed react more. The father’s only reaction seemed to be that it wasn’t fare that a celebrity was helping her. In the end what really pissed me off was when we found out that Novak was engaged to an untreated schizophrenic. That’s a conflict of interest and for all intents and purposes she should have recused herself instead she pushed for leniency.

The crime rate is similar to that of DCComics's Metropolis and Gotham City of the 1930s and 40s.

After all, in the earliest issues of {{Superman}} and {{Batman}}, their respective cities were "dens of corruption" where extreme forms of criminality and violence ran so rampant that only a superpowered or super intelligent crimefighter could stop them.

His violence and crusading against other pedophiles is a product of his own self-loathing. Note that when he was sent undercover to more or less entrap a convicted sex offender who had just been released from prison, he played the roll almost ''too'' well.
