Development
"Jennifer's an ambitious, intelligent woman, and her ability to think on her feet is what makes her an ideal Homicide Detective. Jennifer's sensitive, without being sentimental and she has a strong ability to read people - crooks and cops alike." —A Yahoo!7 writer on JenniferGarner spent time with real homicide detectives to help her get a sense of the role. She told a Daily Telegraph reporter that there is a long waiting list to get into the homicide squad and that the people who chose the career had a strong morality. Of Jennifer, the reporter stated "Garner's character Mapplethorpe puts her career ahead of everything. She's lucky to get a gig on the sought-after homicide squad and she's not giving it up." Superintendent Bernice Waverley (Noni Hazlehurst) becomes supportive of Jennifer because she thinks she adds something to the team.

“Dissonance between family and school, therefore, is not only inevitable in a changing society; it also helps to make children more malleable and responsive to a changing world. By the same token, one could say that absolute homogeneity between family and school would reflect a static, authoritarian society and discourage creative, adaptive development in children.”
—Sara Lawrence Lightfoot (20th century)
“Information about child development enhances parents’ capacity to respond appropriately to their children. Informed parents are better equipped to problem-solve, more confident of their decisions, and more likely to respond sensitively to their children’s developmental needs.”
