Listener Reviews

Thought provoking and thorough

As a child of the 60s Laura is helping me to make clear in my head and give names to all the inequalities and injustices I felt growing up but was never given permission to feel. I also feel incredible rage when male egos and male violence get in the way of the inhumanity women and girls experience in everyday life. Great work Laura, we need to continue educating and holding perpetrators responsible for all of these acts that women have been groomed to hold as theirs for a lifetime. X

It’s a breath of fresh air listening to evidence based facts from an expert, with years of real life experience. Not emotional drivel. I love her passion, analytical thinking and no nonsense approach, backed up with evidence. One to watch. One to listen to. One to believe and respect. Thank you.

I love Laura’s pragmatic clear and enlightening episodes. Thanks to DASH training I was given in a previous job role I started to notice red flags in my marriage. It took some time and lots of support but I got out 5 years ago. Have needed more support since and am still learning and having ah-ha moments listening to Crime Analyst- Thank you for all you do

One of the best podcasts I’ve ever listened to. The insight from Laura on the investigation was fantastic. How she broke it all down and showed the failure of some of the police officers, who were to busy worrying about their reputations than finding a killer.

insightful, powerful.

Articulate, driven, knowledgeable & direct in giving a voice to the voiceless THANKYOU. Laura @crimeanalyst I have been listening to you for approximately 2 years now and each time it's like the first time I was believed about the abuse, in all it's forms that I was suffering at the the hands of my ex husband. When we leave these situations, we are very much exhausted, frightened & traumatised to the core. I myself still working on severe complex PTSD: you have no energy, are totally drained to the core and in my case often, i was simply unable to actually peice together words to fully describe what 25 years of this looked and felt like, let alone the impact on future me. This is where Lauras second to none understanding, experiemce and knowledge in this field comes into the fore. Her voice & words shouting from the rooftops, unflinching in getting justice and word out there about this most abhorrent of crimes. I highly recommend for anyone who has suffered similar. Laura. I have no words, except please keep going- the impact of what you do is profound. Thankyou.

I am so impressed by the analysis presented, and saddened for the victims. Keep up the great work - I am sure it must be hard work.

Laura is such an incredible person let alone podcaster. Her insight into the mind of offenders and support for victims and survivors is unprecedented. This is my new favourite podcast

I discovered this podcast accidentally whilst searching for help following 17 years of marriage to a financial abuser and stonewaller. 7 years post leaving him, I am still searching for answers. No one understood. No one had the specialism to help me. I didn’t understand it myself. I had no words to express what had happened to me. I finally got out, but with 3 children, the financial control continues. The interviews, and I’ve listened to them all, some repeatedly, have great advice and insight. Whilst every relationship is different, and mine had no physical violence, there are aspects to every interview that helps me to understand myself and the situation to enable me to heal the trauma. I love how eloquent Laura is, and how respectful she is to the interviewees, and how she dispels the shame women feel from being a victim.

What an incredible person Laura is. I have never heard a person speak with such understanding and compassion for women. Everyone needs to listen to these podcasts to gain more insight and become a better human being.

Incredible to get the insight of someone who has worked inside the police force at such a high level, with so much real life experience. A lot of what is discussed makes perfect sense but strangely not something I have heard discussed before. Feels nice knowing this superhero is looking out at all femicide cases in the press with an investigatory eye

Every podcast I have listened to from Laura’s analysis of cases of violence against women have really helped me understand how systematic cohersive abuse is, it’s like Laura shines a spotlight onto the often hidden and misunderstood nature of violence crimes against women and how prevalent it is and how to be more aware of the signs of dangerous behaviour within an intimate relationship. Laura has been able to explain how misogyny has affected men’s attitudes towards women and how it has affected some women’s attitudes towards other women, and how sex and violence can be used as a weapon or tool by abusive and dangerous men to gain control and exploit women giving these misogynistic men a feeling of power and control. Laura has also been able to show how a patriarchal society and judicial system has often left victims of domestic violence in very dangerous situations and sometimes end up murdered when the level of control escalates. How strangulation is often a precursor to murder. Even though it’s terrifying to be aware of these truths it is a great reminder of the warning signs to watch out for. Education is our weapon against these perpetrators of violence against women. Thank you for sharing your expertise with us all Laura it really has explained some of the things that I have experienced within intimate relationships and how prevalent it is and how toxic masculinity has fuelled the rise in violence against women and how it has become more widespread and commonplace. Thank you for putting into words what we can often not and thank you for helping us understand what’s happening in this world of power dynamics and sexual violence against women and children. This is a very serious issue in our society from the top down. So thank you for explaining everything in layman’s terms so we can all understand what is happening. Sending you my kindest regards from Ireland 🇮🇪

This phenominal woman educates about the backgrounds of real murders and SA and the holes in the system through the breakdown and analysis of real cases, with her very professional Scotland Yard trained lens. She brings understanding of these very predictable femacides and familicides that happen in all of our countries. She also runs very sucessful campaigns to change the problems within our structures which facilitie this. The woman's a genius. Manditory watching and training for every man and woman. She makes detectives out of all of her viewers.

Always on the money, using her knowledge and well honed skills from years of career in new Scotland Yard and beyond. Male violence and misogyny, are her specialty. Evaluating risk and sharing importance of planning she is amazing… a powerful clever woman sharing knowledge for benefit of others. Able to hold space for those who share their story with empathy.. thank you for the work you do advocating for the victims who have been gaslit into silence and exposing the patriarchy that runs on blame and shame.
