19 de dez. de 2013 · Professor William E. Dodd, FDR’s envoy to Germany from 1933 to 1937, got curiously lost in the postwar historical shuffle, despite his early warnings about rising evil in Hitler’s Berlin. His story is newly relevant, and three very different books, read together, explain why.

William Dodds is the former Deputy Chief of the Special Victims Unit. Following his transfer to the Traffic and Safety Task Force, he is replaced by Christian Garland.
Dodds is first introduced as the new Deputy Chief of SVU divisions citywide during the crime spree of Holden March. He is first seen hounding then-Sgt. Olivia Benson to find the perpetrator and she claims it is their job to find out if a single suspect or multiple ones are responsible. He then arrives at the precinct where waits for Benson. When she does arrive, he badgers them on their progress, wants a CompStat meeting, and demands that they solve the case fast. He is later seen when Benson is briefing the squad on Holden and later follows her to her office. He later tries blaming Benson for letting Holden go when they had nothing to hold him on, and Benson makes that very clear, while Detective Nick Amaro points out that the recent stop-and-frisk lawsuits would make that practically impossible. Benson then explains that she did everything she legally could as far as Holden's situation goes, but he refuses to hear it and even blames Holden's recent murder victims on Benson. After Benson gets a phone call, he rudely comments that he will wait "again". When she comes back, she informs him that Holden's parents have arrived. When Holden takes four girls hostage, he pushes for Holden to be taken out with strong objections from everyone present. However, Dodds gives the go-ahead and Holden is shot in the head as Detective Amanda Rollins was about to convince him to surrender. (SVU: "Holden's Manifesto")
When a Hudson University student and pornstar named Evie Barnes accuses her fellow students of rape, Dodds appears with a newspaper headlining the investigation and demands to speak to Benson and Detective Odafin Tutuola. He accuses Benson and her unit of shoddy police work and they defend the accusation by stating they just caught the case and were just starting to vet Evie. He later states there isn't a case and that Benson is just issuing this to push an agenda and advises her to drop the case. He later comes to accost Benson for going to Hudson to help let Evie back in after she was expelled and demands that she drop the issue. (SVU: "Pornstar's Requiem")
He later comes to oversee the investigation of the Pattern 17 Rapist. At the squad room, he asks if there are any matches to his DNA in CODIS. Dodds is unsatisfied with the answer and continues putting pressure to check country-wide for similar M.O.s and match DNA samples from the rape kits. Benson explains the backlog of rape kits could make that impossible and asks about the victims in Atlanta where Rollins says the rapist likes church songs and he may have a pager. Dodds is unimpressed with their progress and informs Benson that she is to report to a CompStat meeting tomorrow because she is in the hot seat. At the CompStat meeting, Dodds joins the other members of the administration in trying to blame Benson and points out the gaps in the rapist's crimes sprees, where Benson points out he may have been incarcerated. Dodds then brings the meeting to a halt when he reveals the rapist has struck again. After SVU arrests Dr. Joseph Conklin on suspicion of committing the rapes, he congratulates them until none of the victims are able to identify Conklin. As a result, Dodds puts pressure on the detectives to get a confession. He then tells Benson the meeting time of the next CompStat meeting after she catches the real rapist and waits for her for the next day. She arrives barely on time and Dodds, unlike last time, actually gives Benson a chance to explain the main problem with this case: the backlog of untested rape kits. (SVU: "Pattern Seventeen")
When Atlanta Deputy Chief Charles Patton is accused of raping his subordinate Detective Reese Taymor, he meets with Benson and Fin to review the situation. Dodds seems to favor the conclusion that it was consensual sex while Benson supports the rape accusation. As a result, Dodds calls Rollins into Benson's office for her opinion, since she worked for Patton. Dodds asks her if there were any rumors of skirt-chasing and harassment, and Rollins dodges the question. Dodds later decides to interrogate Patton himself. Patton claims to have been having a consensual relationship with Taymor, though Dodds remains skeptical. When the interview is over, Dodds tells him not to leave town. He is later present with Benson and A.D.A. Rafael Barba as Rollins explains she is not surprised that Patton has been accused of rape and believes Taymor. Dodds asks Barba what he plans to do now, and he decides to file charges if Taymor will file a complaint. When Rollins convinces Taymor to come forward, Dodds arrives with Fin and Amaro at a restaurant to serve Patton with an arrest warrant. After the arraignment, he and Barba meet with Patton and his attorney John Buchanan to discuss an agreement. Patton and Dodds exchange insults with each other as Barba strikes down any chance for a plea. He is later present when Patton allocutes to the rape in open court as a part of his plea deal. (SVU: "Forgiving Rollins")
When Skip Peterson airs Heather Peterson's story of being gang-raped, he calls Benson and demands that she investigate. When the allegations are proven to be partly false, he and the mayor leave her and the rest of the SVU to handle the press on their own. (SVU: "Devastating Story")
Dodds later escorts Sergeant Benson to an evening event and after it is over and Benson expresses her surprise enjoyment he informs her that she passed the Lieutenant's exam. He politely suggests choosing her own command, but Benson says she is happy where she is. Dodds brings up who her new Sergeant will be, but before she can answer she gets a call and Dodds drives her to the crime scene. They meet up with Detective Tutuola and local precinct detectives Dumas and Campesi. When they inform them they are dealing with a stray kid, Dodds implies their Sergeant is just trying to pass the buck but after hearing the whole story, relents. Dodds eventually let SVU work the case and call frequently for updates on the case. When Bruno's sister Keisha is revealed to be dead and the squad suspects that Child Protective Services was negligent in the care of both children, Dodd arranges a briefing between Benson, Barba, and Deputy Commissioner Hank Abraham.
Dodds' relationship with the Special Victims Unit started off very intense and quite conflicted. The detectives didn't take a liking to him, particularly Tutuola and Rollins, and Rollins has shown general concern when his son Mike becomes sergeant of the unit, fearing he will tell his father what goes on within the squad as well as Tutuola frequent...
