Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, the hard-hitting and emotionally charged second series from the critically acclaimed Law & Order franchise, chronicles the compelling cases of the elite Special Victims Unit of the New York Police Department.Created by Emmy Award-winning producer Dick Wolf, this award-winning series follows the investigations of Detective Elliot Stabler (Christopher Meloni), a seasoned, seen-it-all veteran of the unit and his tough but compassionate partner, Detective Olivia Benson (Mariska Hargitay), as they try to solve the city's most heinous crimes. Directing their intense efforts is Captain Donald Cragen (Dann Florek, reprising his Law & Order role), whose tough but supportive approach guides the entire squad -- which includes Detectives John Munch (Richard Belzer) and Odafin Tutuola (Ice-T), forensic psychiatrist George Huang (B.D. Wong) and ADA Casey Novak (Diane Neal) -- through the dangerous challenges they face every day. This four disc collection includes all 25 episodes from The Fifth Year of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit!

Editor's Note
Law & Order: Special Victims Unit is a spinoff of NBC's incredibly popular and long-running crime drama Law & Order. Set in New York City, SVU focuses exclusively on sex crimes and, instead of spending half the program's hour with the cops and the other half with the lawyers, the series stays with the police and the criminals they pursue throughout most of the show. Stars Christopher Merloni and Mariska Hargitay deliver outstanding performances as detective partners who uncover some of the city's most shocking crimes, with Richard Belzer, Ice-T, and Dan Florek rounding out the topnotch cast. This 4-volume set includes all 25 episodes of the series' critically-acclaimed and viewer-favorite fifth season.
