Abstract
The study is conducted to explore the relation of crime re-enactment shows and crime. To collect data ten police investigation Officers were interviewed in order to measure their investigation experiences while conducting such types of crime inquires. Social Learning and Cultivation Theory were applied to explore the effects of crime shows on viewers. Qualitative research design was used and Open ended questions were asked from police Investigation Officers for data collection. The findings showed that most of the officers were in favor of the view that the crime shows are giving new methods and ideas to criminals to commit a crime. However, it was also found that negative minded people are not more vulnerable to learn new techniques from these crime re-enactment shows.
