Listener Reviews

Laura, Laura, Laura!!! The fight is on. In my little family containing me and 3 males thesaying 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!!
Empathy and knowledge
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.
Excellent and insightful
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.
Excellent, professional, and i formative
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 childrenAnd 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.
Much needed rhetoric
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?
Frightening and informative.
This podcast describes in detail all that is wrong with modern policing and particularly the management there.of.
Amazing advocate for women
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.

Laura, you are an absolute Queen in this space. Your podcasts are powerful and they inspire the DV work I do in Australia. I adore listening to you. Thank you.
Best podcast
Best crime podcast. Wonderful to hear from a true expert with fascinating insights!
Incredibly helpful
If you or someone you love is being abused, this podcast is incredibly insightful. I can't thank Laura and the Petito family enough for the work they are doing.
Laura Crime Analyst by Jazzy
I just think Laura is an amazing podcaster with such a mass of knowledge dealing with the Gabby Pettito case. As 57 year old survivor of a rape when I was 12, I feel so safe listening to Laura. I trust her and that’s so important for me. Keep doing your amazing work and I love hearing about your little guy. Thank you for your service. Jazzy 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
Brilliant
I love Laura’s podcasts. So insightful. The analysis is incredible. Came across Laura on Real Crime Profile and so glad she is doing her own shown.
What is happening to our society
I think your pod cast is so informative and thank you for making a stand for vulnerable people , one of the worst things about being a woman that hasbeen threatened or assaulted is the fact that you feel so helpless and that your power has been taken away .Which means it could happen again unless you take every precaution to endure it doesn’t .As a parent I was heartbroken when I had to do the talk with my young son , you wouldn’t let your child swim with sharks so they must know what is out there , people do not want to scare their children but they must ,you teach a child how to cross the road so you must teach a child how to keep themselves as safe as possible
Outstanding & insightful
Tremendous work. It's a shame the judiciary aren't listening.

Number 1 podcast

Her expertise and knowledge combined with her empathetic, kind and professional approach to her work and to the podcast is the reason why this is my favorite podcast to listen to.
Insightful and informative podcast
Laura is a very strong voice and advocate for women and girls with her focus mainly directed towards the victims and sharing their stories. Her in-depth analysis of each of the cases I've listened to so far have all been very insightful and thought-provoking.

Well done, Laura. You deserve this to be featured by the New York Times as the The Best True Crime to stream. The more exposure you get, the better. Your expertise is valuable.
