It uses their life to interpret the evidence accurately.

Offenders rely on assumptions. I rely on victimology and method.

Most investigators ask what happened.
I ask why this victim became a murder victim at that moment.

The Murder Room is not a metaphor.
It is a controlled environment designed to eliminate assumptions.
No ranks. No hierarchy. A round table where victimology leads and evidence decides.
Theories earn their place or they are discarded.
