Plot Synopsis

The one-hour drama series takes viewers into the minds of the criminals while following the psychological approaches the Major Case Squad uses to solve the crimes. The squad investigates high-profile cases, usually homicides, such as those involving VIPs, local government officials and employees, the financial industry and the art world. CRIMINAL INTENT differs from other series in the LAW & ORDER franchise because it focuses on the actions and motives of the criminals, rather than showing the police and prosecution's side of the case.
