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

S1 E1 - at around 23:37- 23:48, one of the cops is gagging then seen wiping their face, no visuals, audio isn’t very realistic

S1 E21 - at 1:54 you can hear a man coughing then hunched over a toilet. when he’s getting handcuffed he leans over a toilet then v*mits with audio. sounds are quite graphic lasts until about 2:30

S2 E6 - when they’re talking to Mr. Maddox in the beginning he says he “almost lost his breakfast” then starts breathing heavy. he does not v*mit. when they’re questioning the “john doe” after they ask if the attacker had an accent he does a loud groan and jerks which slightly triggered me. he does not v*mit

S2 E14 - while the officer is calling for backup it very quickly cuts to stabler is hunched over a garbage can v*mitng. safe at 2:00. later when elliot is washing his face he gags you can see and hear it but he does not v*mit

S2 E15 - When the boss is asking Elliot how is research is going he spits out coffee which was a little triggering after last episode. he does not v*mit

S3 E23 - when olivia is talking to the girl she says she’s going to v*mit, i skipped 10 seconds so i don’t know how graphic it is

S4 E9 - when the cops are talking to Olivia about the body they say the killer felt sick and they show v*mit on the ground, not safe until about 4:03. they talk about it a lot during the episode so i suggest skipping if talking about it triggers you

S4 E13 - they mention v*mit multiple times in this episode

S4 E21 - after the suspect finds out his girlfriend is trans he starts breathing heavily and sweating, when he goes to her and grabs her he gags

S5 E16 - after he finds out his girlfriend was his sister he gets sick, very triggering (sound and visual) but easy to tell when it’s coming, lasts until about 27:34

S5 E20 - before they bring April in they’re informed that she’s been getting sick that whole evening, when they give her juice she says she doesn’t know if she’ll be able to keep it down


S5 E16 - after he finds out his girlfriend was his sister he gets sick, very triggering (sound and visual) but easy to tell when it’s coming, lasts until about 27:34

S5 E20 - before they bring April in they’re informed that she’s been getting sick that whole evening, when they give her juice she says she doesn’t know if she’ll be able to keep it down

S6 E1 - when they find the teacher in New Jersey the kid says she’s been throwing up and that she’s sick we do not see any v*mit

S6 E18 - the episode starts off with a little kid saying she’s going to throw up

S6 E22 - when they walk into the guys house and Fin checks his pulse and the guy immediately vomits, the rest of the scene you can hear him coughing so i would just skip until the next scene at around 6:20. when they’re in a hospital a guy coughs really hard a little triggering after the v*mit scene

S7 E8 - When Olivia is talking to Cora in the coffee shop she asks if her boyfriend made her lie about where he is and she stands up quickly and says she’s gonna be sick

S7 E10 - After Fin says that the prisoner is sick, he’s seizing and v*miting blood

S7 E14 - At about it 37:31 the dad starts coughing up blood

S7 E15 - the suspect is sweaty, panting and holding her stomach at around 13 minutes. when she’s at the elevator she says she’s going to be sick, she does not get sick

S8 E8 - when elliot shows the suspect pictures of the dead girls he starts making a coughing noise with a handkerchief over his mouth, the captions say “v*miting” he falls to the ground and you can hear it, very audible

S8 E19 - the kid they’re interviewing after finding out he was sleeping with the mom says he needs to go to the bathroom then says he’s going to throw up and runs out with his hands over his mouth not very triggering

S9 E11 - after the show the mom the kid’s body she makes a coughing sound, puts her hand over her mouth and v*mits in a sink, you can hear her gag but it’s not very realistic

S9 E17 - the beginning of the episode a customer mentions someone getting sick in the bathroom, she tells another employee who repeats it, when he walks into the bathroom there is v*mit all over the ground, it’s nasty but not too realistic skip to about 1 minute on

S10 E4 - when Kathleen is in this hospital she gags and coughs when getting the thing in her mouth, the liquid comes out a little graphic

S10 E7 - when they’re exploring the room with the animals she says “look at the hyena v*mit” it’s gross but not realistic

S10 E9 - when olivia looks in the trunk of the car the woman with her vomits, you can hear it and see her bent over

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)

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.
