Spain busted a real ring of "bar-code pimps": men who branded women they forced into prostitution with bar-code tattoos to show their ownership. The women claimed the pimps whipped them, chained them to radiators, and shaved off their eyebrows for punishment. In response to a different kind of female marginalization, more women are taking on violent roles in terrorist groups. According to the L.A. Times, "Since 1985, terrorism's so-called invisible women have accounted for a quarter of fatal attacks in Iraq, Egypt, Israel, Lebanon, Chechnya, Sri Lanka, Morocco and Palestine." Women, it turns out, can be highly successful suicide bombers, able to hide their bombs under loose religious clothing.

Executive producer/show runner Warren Leight (who was producer, then co-executive producer, and later show runner/EP on LOCI from seasons two thru seven) says he was struck by the characters' similarities. "These are two women who had long-term partnerships with difficult guys," Leight says. "These are two people who've been underestimated — who've worked just as hard, just as long —and people don't quite get how good they are."

Furthermore these may be an unacceptable length of copyrighted text to use per Wikipedia:Plagiarism#Respecting_copyright. They make up the entire section.

"The case itself was barely interesting. The terrorist that Eames was hunting down turned out to be hiding amongst the sex slaves; Eames had to use a few moves she picked up from Goren to coax the girl to explain that she wanted to make America pay for the death of her father, a doctor who was killed while rendering aid during an airstrike. As if we didn’t already know that war sucks. It’s always fun to see Fin go undercover, though. It rarely works out for him, so I was surprised that he wasn’t made for a cop right away. In the end, both the traffickers and the terrorists were taken down and the women they exploited were set free. Everybody wins this time. Except the civilians being killed in the Middle East every day. But they don’t count... right?
"Acceptable Loss" was an intense episode, lightened by Ice-T's one-liners and Cragen's self-deprecating orange-jumpsuit jokes." Leotta noted the episode was correct in its subject matter regarding sex slavery/trafficking in the U.S. along with the radicalization of female terrorists abroad, but Leotta felt the medical plots were off and that in real life a Special Victims Unit wouldn't have much involvment in this type of case. Leotta also gave the episode a "B+

I came here after looking at Monster's Legacy and Manhattan Vigil, articles in the television series and also written by User:SVU4671. Problems with WP:Plagiarism due to the fact that it's not only the quotes but that the surround text and sometimes entire paragraphs are copied. The context of how the quotes are used are word-for-word along with the surrounding copied prose is a clearcut case of plagiarism even if some of the plagiarized material is in quotation marks. I haven't had a chance to look at this thoroughly but source one revealed evidence. Mkdw ^talk 09:23, 7 February 2013 (UTC)Reply
