Excellent analysis!
Laura’s ability to describe what it takes to excel one ones job (crime analyst in this case), and how you must submerged yourself deep within the details. When you have a passion and high level of determination for something, this makes absolute sense. I respect the open minded and victim centered perspective Laura has, as they are the ones that count. Huge fan of pushing and supporting victim’s rights. As a past victim myself, who never saw it coming, I know how helpful it might have been to have a brilliant and dedicated crime analyst in my corner. I bow to forever be the person I needed back then, to the victims that need that now. 5/5 stars indeed Laura!!

Amazing!!
Laura Richards is a true advocate and voice for victims and survivors. I’ve learned so much over the years I have been listening and been taught by her in several arenas. She is a true SHERO!

Brilliant
Love the concept! I’ve learned a lot from Laura from Real Crime and am so excited to learn more here! Loved the first episode and can’t wait for more! Laura is brilliant and I love listening to her teachings!

What a true crime podcast should be
This is what all true crime stories should be about: THE VICTIMS! Yes she tells the full story: the when, where, why, how but the WHO is what really sets this apart. While you learn about the offender, it is in a such as way as there is no glorification, no notoriety (which so many offenders seek). But you learn about the victims & survivors whose stories often are left out and that is the connection so many other podcasts lack. There is no guilt listening to Laura on this and on True Crime Profile because the purpose is victim focused in a way that is engaging, informative & and engrossing.

So good and inspiring
I LOVE this. Laura is such a great teacher, and this podcast is amazing. She does such a great job at breaking down the pieces. I am trying break into the Crime/Intel analysis field and hearing this reminds me why I want to do it.
I have been looking forward to this podcast, and was not disappointed. Laura Richards knows her stuff and comes at cases from all angles, particularly the psychological and behavioural. As Laura says "the devil is in the details" and that is what was so tragically missed in this series of appalling crimes. The key though i think is that this podcast focuses on what is ultimately the most important part, which is the victims, and their loved ones. Very much looking forward to the next episode, addictive stuff!

A Hero
I first found Laura through her other podcast Real Crime Profile. This solo venture is already packed with all the things I love in a podcast: true crime, feminism, and education. Laura tells the victims’ stories so passionately while also teaching the audience how to avoid a similar circumstance as well as how law enforcement could do better.

A victim-centric true crime podcast
Such a great podcast. Laura makes it her business to re-humanize victims and their families, when media tend to forget them and glorify the killers. That added to her qualifications and her lengthy experience as a criminal profiler makes it an excellent listen. Bravo Laura. Keep doing what you are doing.

Highly recommend
Once again, Laura brings her expertise, intelligence and humanity to a podcast. Can’t recommend enough

Laura has done it again....
Been listening to Ms. Richard’s on Real Crime Profile with Jim Clemente and Lisa Z. She is awesome on that podcast. Here you are able to hear her POV on a case. She goes into the importance of all of the people that are affected and why it is important to learn from the past and enact change. It’s empowering. She is a teacher and but more than that - She is a force.
Laura is such an important advocate for the forgotten victims and their families in historic murder and domestic abuse cases and for her proactive work to identify patterns of coercive control. This platform changes the narrative and gives the voice back to the victims. A fascinating and important listen.

Wonderful!
I look forward to this podcast every week! I love Laura on Real Crime Profile and was so excited when I heard she was doing another podcast!

Analysts
Please cut down on music And tell us what the behaviors of this killer was On a daily basis. And I’m glad you have a survivor on to tell what life was like for their mom and their lives after her death. And let everyone know that she had to do what she did to feed the kids.

Love Laura!
Love Laura’s approach, we really need to stop idolizing the offenders and understanding and caring about the victims and their families. This is a learning podcast!
Laura Richards' passion for bringing victims back to the forefront of their own murders, her passion for giving them their voice back really shines through in this podcast. One episode and I am hooked. Awesome start so far.

Thorough, Caring and Interesting
I am a real crime profile podcast fan and loyal listener so of course I had to check out Laura‘s new podcast. Laura is thoughtful, resourceful, caring, empathetic and a fierce advocate for victims. This podcast, even after the first episode, has not disappointed!

Five stars for the True Crime Queen!
I will follow Laura wherever she goes! She is the True Crime Queen. Incredible insight. She ropes me in every time and I learn so much about not only the crime she is analyzing but THE WORLD WE LIVE IN. Five stars!

It’s a true analysis
I wish I could rate this higher than 5 stars. Laura’s analysis is so thorough, I cannot wait for more episodes.

Truly excellent
1.Gender focused analysis empowers and engenders a degree of confidence 2.Content is heart-breaking and anger inducing 3.Anticipation and expectation of this podcast met and exceeded.
I grew up in 80s Yorkshire and people were still talking about you know who in the same breath as the Moors murders. Great show.

Laura Richards Is My Hero
I listen to a lot of true crime podcasts but no one is able to offer a perspective like Laura Richards. She is refreshingly blunt and professional. Laura does not just read you cases and information, she teaches you why. She is the realest of the real, she is a well of information and advocation and she is changing the world as we know it. Laura Richards is a real life hero. 100/100 listen to this podcast.

Laura Richards is a ROCK STAR
So excited for this pod cast. Ms Richards is a tireless victims’ advocate and excellent storyteller. Looking forward to more episodes!

Thank you for giving the victims a voice!
So important not to always focus on the perpetrators but on the victims. I’m looking forward to many more episodes.

Amazing advocate for crime victims
I absolutely love Laura-she goes into detail like no one else and helps you understand the “why” behind these horrific crimes. She’s an amazing advocate for the victims, their families, and women. If anything ever happens to me I’ve told my husband to hire you to investigate! Keep up the amazing work!

Yay Laura !!
Brilliant Teacher, love listening to Laura I have learned so much from you Laura about Cohersive Control and have helped many of my patients.

Laura Richards, advocate for truth changes us all for the better
Laura’s hands on experience and insight have taught me SO much about truth and justice in relationships. Her clarity and vision haven’t just changed the laws to better protect women. She also teaches each and every one of us how to better spot manipulation, coercion, and danger. I love learning from her and gaining the insights she’s worked so hard to earn. We’re lucky to have this podcast!

Yes!
Laura is an amazing activist and smart!! I love hearing her truth bomb from her expert lens. I feel like as a survivor, she actually had my back! Love your work!! Thank you for all you do for abuse victims Laura!

Important & Necessary Podcast
Laura Richards is my shero. Her work with domestic violence and stalking victims is so important. This podcast is going to help so many people understand coercive control and prevent murders in slow motion. Thank you Laura!
