Season 3 Episode 13: Prodigy. There is a lot of talk about animal abuse throughout the whole episode. Detailed descriptions of a cat being abused and a dog being killed.
Season 19, episode 14. Born psychopath. About 15 minutes before show ends, boy says “he was hurting snowball” and you see a full bathtub and leash tied to bathtub drain. You dont see the dog or anything else. Just the cop’s reaction.
Some episodes show someone being physically violent with someone else, and force them in a sexual position (i don't remember ever seeing any genitalia) while the other protests. usually the camera cuts to black or pans away and we can still hear screams.
*spoiler* in one episode a little girl is buried alive so the police can’t find her. However, she had been taking to an svu officer on the phone beforehand, so they get there in time. She’s dug up and although there’s a scary moment where she isn’t breathing, she dies survive and seems mostly physically unharmed. Similar to most things on this list, it is not shown on screen
A man has his testicles cut off by one of his former students, who he molested when he was a teacher. You don't see them or his injury, but you do see his crotch and pants covered in blood, as well as two male police officers' reactions to seeing them.

Yes, and lots of it since it is a cop show. However I will say there is acknowledgement of corruption and a decent amount of nuance. Still copaganda tho so watch out
Several mentally ill people are violent, including schizophrenic people, autistic people, people with antisocial personality disorder, and in one instance a boy with adhd (however his violence was caused by being given unprescribed medications, so as a person with adhd this did not offend/trigger me)
So much. Falls into the usual terribly harmful cliches, including the not so surprising "twist ending". Spoilers, she was faking it the whole time to get out of prison.
There are many babies in both happy and upsetting contexts. There are several pregnant women. There are many MANY mentions of abortion. In one episode, frozen embryos are stolen.
There are several uses of the tv slur in reference to both trans people and drag queens. There are many moments where men wearing dresses is seen in a negative ligjt
There are several episodes in which LGBTQ characters die, including as a result of hate crimes. I would go so far as to say at least one episode per season (if not more) deals with either the death or victimization of an LGBTQ individual.
