# Law & Order Parent Guide This crime drama follows police investigations and courtroom prosecutions of serious crimes, including murders and assaults. While rated TV-14, it contains strong violence and mature criminal scenarios that may disturb younger children. The mild language and sexual content are less concerning than the graphic nature of the crimes depicted.
