Listener Reviews

I was absolutely pleased that Laura won the True Crime Awards for the third time due to her pioneering work on the 'Gabby Petito Remastered Series'. I remembered Crime Analyst's original Gabby Petito series was featured in the New York Times which seemed fascinating to me. Laura truly deserved winning the third True Crime Award which was the reason why I voted for Crime Analyst. I am sure that she will be winning more True Crime Awards in the upcoming years. I rewatched your Nicola Bulley videos on Crime Analyst YouTube and the way you analyze Nicola`s victimology, behavior, timeline, reviews in the Nicola Bulley investigation, coroner`s inquest and developments in the case makes it very easy for me to understand and follow. So I am going to give the rating as 5 stars. Wish you the best of luck as always.

Yes Laura judges need to be held accountable. Lawyers also. Smacks of gender bias and corruption. Again men have the upper hand in the men constructed Patriarchy. Women as Mandy (and yourself) need to be celebrated and supported. ❤️

Thank you so much for your podcast. I've learned so much from you. I also now have the vocabulary to understand what I went through in my two abusive relationships.

Ms. Richards, your words are beyond valuable and I genuinely can’t thank you enough for giving voice and clarity to survivors and listeners. Thank you for all the hard work you do to put this podcast out to the world. I hope law makers and police dept’s listen and take heed, as well.

An eye-opening, educational, well-researched podcast.

Laura weet haar expertise en empathie goed en boeiend over te brengen. De ingesleten patronen maakt ze duidelijk zichtbaar waardoor deze podcast heel behulpzaam is om ,als omstander, te weten wat je kunt doen en waar je op kunt letten. Zoals ze zelf zegt: als je het ziet kun je het niet meer onzien. Bedankt Laura, je bent een voorbeeld voor velen!

Another podcast getting to the bottom of the injustice against women. Thank you Laura for your continued work to put coercive control in the spotlight for change and bringing the patriarchal crap to bear accountability. Keep the pressure on! Thank you❤️

Excellent analysis and great detail helping to understand the crimes we are all familiar with. Brilliant to see focus on the victims and not allowing the perpetrators to silence their story.

I came across this podcast and I was blown away and immediately followed and am listening to Laura - the detail, insights and overall approach is thought provoking and quite simply put amazing. Do yourself a favour and PLUG IN -

There is no one else o know of analysing and providing insight into how a women ends up dying, murdered by relationship partner. We need education and the language to understand the unfathomable and get safely away before it’s too late

Laura has a breadth of knowledge and understanding of the criminal justice system and the women’s safety epidemic

Laura brings her expert knowledge and experience to this gross miscarriage of justice and in conversation with Jazmine’s parents, we better understand how the justice system desperately needs reform and have hope that with the love of family and the wider community Jazmine’s story is one of hope for victims to become survivors!

Just listened to the latest update about Robert Brown, and as I felt in the original episodes about the tragic case am totally in awe of incredible Diana Parkes , how she is such a voice against domestic violence in the name of her beloved daughter Jo, and how she has been everything to her grandchildren. Impossible to believe she is 87. Having just lost a very beloved, brave, loving relative of a similar ilk it feels very close to me, those women of that generation are my muses. Thank you Laura for advocating and being there for her.

Thank you so much Laura for what you do!

I have so much respect and appreciation for Ms Richard’s intelligently structured research and reporting. Tune in today!

Laura Richard’s gives you detailed analysis of awful abuse that is going on in all countries. She explains clearly how people are manipulated in what are meant to be loving relationships. She shows us the clear red flags to beware of. She shows the way to make yourself and others safe. Fascinating and gripping story telling. She’s made me feel angry and activated for change in my county.

Laura, Laura, Laura!!! The fight is on. In my little family containing me and 3 males the saying is "what would Laura say?" The expertly delivered subjects, often a hard listen but oh so important. Although I consider myself pretty clued up I still find I learn new things that challenges my own ideas and deepens my knowledge. Every man, woman and child should listen to this. Be humble and join the fight for what is right. If you are a man be a good man and use your courage and strength to help change the landscape. It's not women against men , it's women and good men together. Listen to Laura and all the amazing guests, the expertise is unparalleled the heart is huge. Laura, Laura, Laura!!

I really enjoy the podcast and everything that Laura has to say. I’m interested in true crime but am turned away by the glamorisation of the subject matter. I’m very drawn to Laura’s intellectual and analytical style of addressing these issues and also at last to see the sexism and misogyny being called out across the field of both crime and crime prevention. Alongside this, Laura shows kindness and empathy towards victims so it’s not analysis without humanity. She gets the balance just right. I will keep listening. I hope she keeps campaigning and advocating for women and victims.

This is a great podcast. Educational with extremely thorough research and analysis, but also full of compassion for the women and victims. The Gabby Petito case in particular is heartbreaking and her death was so avoidable.

Laura Richards relentlessly advocates for women and children. Crime Analyst is informed by years of experience and by personal and professional excellence. The podcast has literally opened my eyes to issues I was sort of aware of but didn't know how to approach. Laura has educated me in what coersive control is and on how the patriarchy will always disadvantage women and children And for that I am forever grateful as I can now actively stand up against and call out misogyny. Thank you for all you do, Laura.

Laura rocks. Finally talking about the unfair treatment of women victims, and more importantly, girls! I have noticed this misogyny woven into everything since I was a child about 60 years ago. If male judges imagined themselves being overpowered in the same way; would their judgement be the same?

This podcast describes in detail all that is wrong with modern policing and particularly the management there.of.

Laura’s incredible career and expertise bring a wealth of knowledge, insight and compassion to these awful and delicate subjects. She is a passionate advocate for victims, ensuring they remain human beings with stories, families and lives. Laura is exceptionally eloquent and her commitment to improving women’s safety shines through in every podcast. Her thoughtful approach makes difficult topics accessible, engaging and deeply impactful.
