First off, for anyone who still thinks you can be a 'CSI' a-la any of the popular tv shows, it just doesn't work like that.

I don't watch any of the 'CSI' branded shows, though I use to occasionally watch the original. I do watch 'Bones', which is similar to any of those investigative dramas. That's what initially got me thinking about it.

The other factor was a story I read today about the bodies of 11 women that were found out in Arizona. They've identified 8, and linked them through drugs and prostitution, but have no suspects (or none that they'll publicly admit).

Anyway, the question is, if you were an investigator, would catching the guilty parties be rewarding, or would the work just remind you of how ugly people can be.

I think I'd get a great sense of satisfaction from catching up to these people who think they've gotten away with their crimes. But would that be enough to overcome the depressing fact that most of these crimes were committed by people who simply don't care about others' lives, and were done for stupid reasons?
