How did they script Elliot Stabler's retirement on SVU?

His character's departure was handled by saying he had quit. Elliott didn't appear, his resignation was discussed by the other characters so we would know why he wasn't there.

The season 12 final episode "Smoked" ended with a girl with a gun shooting people in the squad room, so Det. Stabler shot and killed her. But during the hiatus between season 12 and 13, Christopher Meloni, the actor who plays Elliott Stabler, could not negotiate a new contract for season 13 of SVU. In the season 13 opening episode "Scorched Earth", the script handled the situation by saying that Stabler had quit over the shooting incident.

Do tv shows like CSI and Law and Order represents the actual Criminal Justice System?

Television programs like Law and Order and CSItake considerable liberties with police procedure to move the story along and bring the plot to an end within the allotted hour. Among the differences between real life and what you see on TV are:

  1. Detectives rarely work one case at a time. Most detectives will have many active cases at any one time, in various stages of investigation.
  2. Few cases are solved in a day or two. Forensic tests can require months before results are obtained. Suspects and witnesses can be elusive and are not always located immediately. When they are located, they may not be willing to discuss the case. Unless there is an arrest warrant or probable cause for an arrest, detectives can't take someone "downtown" unless they agree to go.
  3. Federal agencies like the FBI rarely take charge of cases initiated by local police. When federal agencies get involved, it is usually to assist, and the assistance is welcomed. Federal agencies usually have more money and other resources to bring to an investigation.
  4. Detectives do not form social relationships with victims or witnesses in cases. An officer who did this would be viewed as having very poor judgment.
  5. A case may not go to trial for months or even years after the crime has taken place. If a prosecutor is involved with a case in an advisory capacity, that doesn't mean the same prosecutor will handle the case at trial.
  6. At NYPD and in other large agencies, the rank of "detective" is often permanent or semi-permanent. In smaller organizations, being a detective is often a temporary assignment lasting from one to four years. When the assignment term is up, the former detective returns to uniformed patrol.
