Law & Order: nowrap
Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (often abbreviated to Law & Order: SVU or just SVU) is an American crime-drama television series, created by Dick Wolf for NBC. It stars Mariska Hargitay as Captain Olivia Benson, the commanding officer of the Special Victims Unit and formerly a lead detective, located in a fictionalized version of the New York City Police Department. Christopher Meloni played the other lead detective, Elliot Stabler, until departing from the series after 12 seasons. Law & Order: Special Victims Unit follows the style of the original Law & Order, in that episodes are often loosely based on real crimes that have received media attention (and thus sometimes described as being "ripped from the headlines").
