Fabulous
Absolutely fabulous, looks at crime with a different perspective and reviews the language used. Lessons learned - but not implemented Looks how we as individuals in other services and help and make a difference Love this
The best in the biz
Listening to crime analyst is somehow like listening to a good friend but also a good friend who is skilled in behaviorial profiling and has an expertise in serial abuse and how it too often gets normalized or ignored. I’ve learned so much about murder in slow motion and stalking and signs to look for. It’s not just a great, entertaining podcast. It’s also informative and indeed life changing. I love it. Highly recommend.
Supremely informative and thought provoking.
Laura provides a clear and informative podcast which is supremely informative and thought provoking. The strong bias towards the victims is refreshingly different and provides a thoughtful and considerate insight into the often forgotten people in these crimes. I would highly recommend this series to anyone interested in facts and not sensationalist opinions.

Profound and incredible
I am having trouble finding words to do this podcast and Laura justice. It’s so incredibly moving and insightful. Some of her guests are just admirable beyond words. The work Laura has done, and continues to do, is so important. Laura, Australia needs you. Everyone, male and female, of all ages, should listen to this.
Highest quality crime podcast
Laura is a wealth of information. Always great guests, my favourite being the wonderful Dr Burgess. Thank you Laura.
Hero
I bow down to the undisputed hero and pro Laurs Richards. Her unpretentious but powerful analysis of crimes against women and the profiling she does of the men who harm them has taught me so much. She is a beacon of light and sense and goodness in a dark world. Laura has such intelligence and her knowledge and sensitivity shine through. Listening to Laura’s calm, authoritative explanation of coercive control has been a huge factor in saving me and helping me gain clarity and get out of a very bad marriage, and I’m forever grateful to her and the great guest speakers she has on. They light the way for women like me, and show us a way out. This podcast shows a true pro doing what she does best. Total class 🌟
A voice to the silenced
Laura Richards’ podcast is one of the most empowering, validating, and informative resources I’ve ever come across. As a survivor of abuse, I’ve often struggled to find the words to describe what I went through — and to feel truly understood. Crime Analyst changed that. Laura’s insights gave language to my experience, helped me make sense of the tactics used against me, and gave me the confidence to stand in my truth. This podcast is not just educational — it’s a lifeline. Thank you, Laura, for helping survivors feel seen, heard, and believed.
She is so knowledgeable and validating
This woman speaks volumes, but moreover, she speaks out for all the abused women and significantly those who don’t realise they are victims of abuse. Love her ❤️🙏🏼💪🏼
Shedding light on saying no
I’m enjoying learning more of the psychology of manipulation men are using to try to make women feel guilty about saying no. Today’s woman needs to stand straight with her head on a swivel and not be swayed about the potential of a man. Keep up the great work of keeping us safer and using the correct terminology of abuse.
Truth telling
Brave and courageous truth telling.
‼️ A MUST LISTEN ‼️
This conversation was phenomenal. Clear, concise and rational commentary about this abhorrent case. I really respected Lisa for openly walking in Cassie’s shoes and saying at her age, she would have 100% gone along for the same ride. It’s so important to acknowledge that what happened to Cassie was not a Cassie issue, it was a man taking complete control over a naive young person in the worst ways possible. Laura, you really do a stellar job in shining light into dark places. Amazing.
Congratulations
Congratulations for doing a podcast victim centred, educational and super respectful. Always learning with it!
Crime analyst
Brilliant. Love Laura’s analysis of cases
Not such thing as mutual abuse
I think Laura is amazing. She is standing up for women and knows the manipulation tactics people use towards victims. 💜
Trans identifying girls and women
I have learned so much from listening to you Laura, truly you are blessing to women and girls. I’ve noticed your silence on trans women and girls playing in girls sports and being in women’s only spaces . I am curious how you view this topic. On the surface it seems as though women’s feelings are not being considered or respected, misogyny if you will. Just curious what your thoughts are as an advocate of women.
Excellent
Every episode is victim centred and meticulously researched. Laura is such a valuable asset to the world. Sometimes this podcast can be very difficult to listen to as it can be very upsetting but each case is always honourably and morally handled. I am a psychotherapist based in the U.K and my childhood was coloured by domestic violence, and neglect so I find much of use both for myself and the clients I work with. Thank you Laura.
Exposing Family Court Abuse
Your interview with Dr. Charlotte Proudman really resonated with me as a survivor of DV and FC. This darkness needs sunlight!
So important
Men who are a risk to the mother a risk to their child. This is so important. Children are being harmed by family court ALL the time. Men who strangle and bash and hurt the mother, harm the child.
Outstanding!
Shining a crucial light on a topic that has long been in the dark. Bravo!
Exceptional
Always exceptional interesting and I learn so much. I am grateful that Laura is the person she is and that she is able to drill down into these difficult subjects and educate and change the world.
The most fascinating podcast ever

Quintessential
If you have any interest in the psychology of criminals and abusers - this pod is for you. If you’ve ever cared about violence towards women and girls- this pod is for you. I’ve never heard more expertise nor heard more important work in a crime cast.
