BioThis account is for Olivia Benson as played by Jessike Washington.
Benson works as a detective in the Manhattan Special Victims Unit, which investigates sex crimes and abuse, she is tough, empathetic, and completely dedicated to her job, to the point that she has no personal life of which to speak.
This dedication, however, sometimes wreaks havoc on her emotional state: She empathizes with victims of sexual assault so much that, when an abuser evades justice or a victim suffers, she holds herself personally responsible. She has also occasionally lets her compassion for victims of abuse cloud her professional judgment, an example being a case in the series premiere, "Payback," in which she fights her boss, Capt. Don Cragen , to get leniency for a woman who killed her rapist. Also, when investigating a case, she sometimes lacks the ability to be impartial, as evidenced in the Season 6 episode "Doubt." In the episode "Inconceivable" her desire for a child of her own is displayed, and also her disappointment and pain at being turned down by the adoption agency.
In the April 15, 2008 episode "Undercover," Benson goes undercover in Sealview Prison to find a corrections officer who is raping the inmates. She herself is nearly raped in the prison's basement by the same officer.
She graduated from Siena College.While there, she held a membership in a sorority.
In addition to English, Benson speaks some Spanish and French and is able to Mirandize in three others.
