I Love this podcast and the way Laura analyses things.
It would be great if the episode showed the latest ones at the top of the listings so I don’t have to scroll thru them all to get to the most recent if I’ve missed a few.

I applaud your excellent analysis of the Heard case; it has been authoritative, informative and comforting. As you've mentioned, this case's outcome, and others, are triggering for survivors (including myself) with worrying implications for future disclosures and justice claims.
Thanks again for your vital work!

Victoria Police behaves exactly the same way, I have documented the behaviour after I reported a workplace bullying and harassment incident to police in August 2019. Police application for a FVIO against only one of the perpetrators who was validated and emboldened by the response of police and magistrate. There followed 27 MCV Hearings with errors and skullduggery meant that police 600kms away refused to recognise the FVIO and then arrested me three times for 98 breaches stated to police in the nine statements with false information. Police eventually withdrew the stalking charges and filed a revocation of the invalid PSO but before the proceedings were over the Applicants lawyers had another PSO back in place. It’s an extraordinarily complex situation and ongoing instigated by an arch manipulator. Thank you Laura particularly for your work on Gabby Petito it has helped me enormously to understand the abuse I am subjected to. I never realised until I had turned 60.

Superb listen, with a unique angle and insight
Laura Richards doesn’t just cover the bare facts of the case, or even the emotional details, but analyzes the meaning behind the actions of perpetrators to uncover what truly happened. In a day where many perpetrators of violence are taken at their word when describing what they did and why, Richards is able to take apart their words, situations and actions and uncover the real, and often more brutal, truth, holding these perpetrators truly accountable. She seamlessly blends her criminal experience and academic knowledge into clear messages that allow listeners to learn and have more insight themselves. If this podcast were required listening for police officers in training, forces all over the world would finally adequately deal with abuse, violence and sexual assault, which many forces don’t deal with well at all. So give it a listen!

Amazing and Educational
I first discovered Laura on another podcast and quickly learned so much about profiling and violence. When I found out she has her own podcast, I quickly followed and started listening. WOW! Amazing work, very educational, and so full of the information we (especially girls and women), need to keep our healthy boundaries, to stay safe. Everyone should be listening, including law officers, to help put an end to all levels/kinds of violence, to protect others from the monsters walking among us!

Through extensive work and training, Laura has developed a knack for lifting the veil on Domestic Violence. Until I found her some years ago I didn’t have words for the nuances of abuse. She has given me those words.
I have so much admiration and appreciation for her exhaustive work.
Listen, learn and do something!

Top Rated Podcast! Must Listen for True Crime Fans
This podcast has totally changed my view on the true crime genre. Laura goes through true crime cases in extraordinary detail. Best of all, she is an amazing advocate for woman and children and brings the victims into the story. Take a minute to listen and you will be hooked.

Top tier pod. Loaded with valuable education about victimology, and how to spot the nuances of potentially dangerous or abusive situations. I find it remarkably engaging and no bullshit. I feel that if more people listened to this podcast, there would likely be fewer tragic scenarios where "nobody saw it coming".

Riveting and Educational
A talented storyteller and crime analyst specialist,, Laura masterfully retells the crime story and analyzes with kindness for the victims. Her goal is to educate us at the same time. She holds your attention every moment because she has the ability to explain elements of coercive control and manipulation with an experienced and expert eye. I find myself hopeful for the victims of domestic violence and abuse because Laura is out there, working for change in laws and helping educate professionals and the public. Thank you Laura! I don’t miss an episode nor a chance to encourage others to listen in!

Fantastic Podcaster
We are so very fortunate that Ms. Richards gives us her time, expertise and experience, in case analysis while overlooking no detail and in a no-nonsense manner. You have not truly heard everything about a case until Ms. Richards decided to do a deep dive. She challenges your sometimes steadfastly held beliefs by offering new perspectives based on her observation and analysis of hundreds of cases. It is for all these reasons that hers is the podcast I always listen to first.

Victim focused expert analysis
This podcast is a wonderful, educational tool for anyone who wants to better understand the psychology behind coercive control, all the red flags of an abusive relationships that lead to violence (murder in slow motion), and the men who - more often than not - perpetrate those crimes. Laura always shows profound sympathy and compassion towards the victims all while explaining their case from the perspective of an expert criminal behavior analyst. She is an outspoken advocate for women everywhere and has dedicated her life towards creating a safer, more equal world where dangerous men are held accountable for their actions.
I have been a long time listener and admirer of Laura and her work. I have learned SO much from listening to her over the years. She inspired me to become a sexual assault response advocate in addition to helping women and children in my local shelter. I cannot recommend her podcast enough and will always be a huge supporter of hers. Love you, Laura!!!

Give it a listen
Every woman should listen to this podcast. Sometimes women don’t even realize that they are in an dangerous relationship till it is too late. Learn what to look for and what to do if you are in one. This podcast is extremely important to listen to. I thank Laura for all her hard work.

Brilliant crime Analysis!
Every police dept., investigative unit and crime detective should go through courses given by Laura Richards! Not only is she highly trained, an intuitive and highly experienced in solving criminal investigations, she’s a wonderful storyteller of cases she has been involved with and has studied. I learn something every time I listen to her!

Laura is an amazing crime analyst! She brings the most interesting and insightful perspective to professional crime analysis. This is the podcast we all want and need to hear. She is always respectful and considerate to the victims. She gets down to the why and often empowers the listeners to learn the red flags. Excellent podcast! I wish it was required listening for law enforcement officers.

The experts
Answers. If you’re looking for them you came to the right place. Answers that put puzzles together and allow you to decide yourself how you think about a particular case. But if there is any doubt left after listening to Laura (Scotland Yard) and Jim (FBI) you’d be in rare company. Plus they do all their work with the utmost respect. 5 stars isn’t enough!

Fascinating & Insightful Analysis
I discovered Laura Richards when reading about corrosive control and why it is a red flag for intimate partner violence. Laura’s CV is impeccable and her insightful analysis will help you see domestic violence in a fresh light. Crime Analyst is a must-follow for everyone concerned about violence against women and how the police and legal systems need to improve if lives are to be saved. Highly recommended.
