I would give this 10 stars if I could!! Really one of the best podcasts

Laura Richards is absolutely phenomenal & I've learned so much from listening to her podcast(s). If you are into hearing about crime through the lens of a very dedicated former Metropolitan Police & New Scotland Yards homicide detective, criminal behavior analyst, & founder of Paladin, & the DASH assessment risk model which centers around victims of domestic abuse/violence, stalking, harassment, & coercive control. This is the podcast for you!!

Dash is a very helpful tool for those who are victims of anything mentioned above, & can be used as a great resource to fill out & have on hand as a resource to document anything that has happened. If you or anyone you know is suffering from anything that I mentioned, please look up your local DV hotline. And look up Paladin & the DASH risk model. You never know what info you can learn, that could help save yourself or someone you know!!

She is ALWAYS victims centered & gives a voice to the voiceless. Which I very much appreciate that about her. She does not glorify the crimes or the criminals, themselves. As a matter of fact, she rarely ever says the perpetrators names. Laura is very good at placing women & children in the forefront, therefore as a woman, it makes me feel heard, understood, & safe.

She has changed laws on coercive control & other things in the UK & Australia. And 🤞🏻 hopefully will be the USA next! I appreciate everything Laura does & what she stands for!
I want to thank you personally Laura for changing my life with everything I've since learned from you!
