Superb Analysis Case by Case I’m Hooked
The case analysis is methodical and well researched. Laura Richards asks the questions, the important questions that need asking. Her guests are wonderful additions to each case understanding details and context. You walk away feeling informed. Thank you for what you do and many thanks for sharing! I can’t stop listening excellent podcast!

Second to None
This podcast will save lives. Laura’s professionalism and experience alongside her concise delivery and soothing cadence allows easy listening for difficult subjects. She does not sensationalize or hypothesize beyond reasonable conclusions. It is obvious she is compelled to produce this information as an artist is compelled to create art. Anyone who read the book The Gift of Fear will find this podcast a masterclass to build upon techniques for self-protection. Thank you, Laura.

Insightful, honest, compassionate, intelligent, experienced, provoking, educational… am I missing anything?
Analytical, considered, topical, important, revelatory, wise! I could probably go on forever more. This podcast and it’s creators of course the spectacular Laura Richards! Have accomplished something really special. I couldn’t tell you all I’ve learned. Such a fountain of knowledge 🤩.
Thank you, always. As a woman and a mother of girls and boy, I am well-armed because of you 🥰

Thank you Laura!
I’ve posted before, but I want to say again that I so appreciate Laura’s expertise, and her willingness to say the words ‘male violence.’ Try looking up the term even on the FBI website and you’ll find nothing. Use these words and people will immediately point out, ‘Well, women are violent too.’ ‘Men kill other men.’
Of course this is true, but the stats are clear. Women are targeted because of their sex, and that’s a truth that must be recognized.

All episodes
Laura’s podcasts are incredible! I’ve learnt so much from her and have found understanding about my own coercive controlled childhood. Thank you for your work, Laura!

Outstanding !
Outstanding ! I have so much admiration of Laura Richards who gives an articulate, intelligent, understanding and analysis of crimes against women and the need for change. Laura is compassionate interviewer of victims and allows them to tell their story over that of the perpetrator. I love Laura’s no nonsense approach and the fact she is not afraid to call out those that have done wrong! Laura is a hardworking advocate making real changes in law reform to help protect women. A real warrior! Keep up the good work you are amazing!

What we and hopefully, men need to hear.
Have been listening to you for a very long time. You are what we have needed for so long. Unfortunately the stories are shockingly horrific and very very sad, but at the same time your sympathetic, expert and caring way of making the ‘victims ‘ the main point. You are obviously an amazing woman. We need people like you! Hope you are enjoying motherhood. Having a son it was important for me to instill good behavior towards all people but especially to at the time, girls and later women. He did and does. Thank you so much!

Bad Vegan episode
I have to say that both parties in this interview are exemplary demonstrations of integrity and character. Brilliantly discussed with compassion and commitment to honest investigation into a crisis. I have so much respect for the host of this show and for her mission. I also have so much respect for Joey Repice and his ability to look at a situation that was so hurtful and costly to him personally from an emotionally intelligent perspective.

Excellent Podcast
As a police officer, this podcast is an education in itself. Thank you Laura for all the hard work you do to analyse and deconstruct such serious crimes.

An educational and inspiring podcast.
Laura introduces and fully illustrates a term that gives us a new way to think about domestic abuse. Coercive control explains a dangerous, diabolical, and often overlooked form of abuse. She tells the stories of women who have lost their lives in part because of the public’s acceptance or ignorance about abuse. Every public safety, health, and educational professional deserves this training. All of us need to understand the forms of abuse we and others may experience, inflict, or prevent. We all need to “be curious, ask questions, and trust our instincts.” It can save lives.
Rafi is an adorable little guy and he has an amazing mum . 🥰

Laura is a fighter for women
Laura is such a fierce and passionate fighter for girls and women’s rights. Years and years of her hard work on coercive control legislations, paid off and now saving countless of innocent lives. Every time I hear the term “coercive control” used in the media, I think of Laura with such pride and admiration! She never lets DV Victims down, or let them be blamed for their suffering. Keep leading the way Laura, You are an inspiration to all of us!

Laura Richards is a gift
Laura went next level for me with her amazing coverage of The Batman with her Uber fan husband. What a beautiful analysis. I’ve been listening to Laura for a long time and have learned so much from her especially about DV and coercive control. It’s helped me immensely in my career as an attorney especially when I’m seeking restraining orders. I’ve never reviewed her podcasts before but now I have to after the Batman episodes. I loved her husbands knowledge about the franchise. I loved both their takes on the Batman movie. But I especially loved how Laura gave a plug for more female role models in comics and how ladies’ men are actually not so attractive. Love you, Laura Richards. You’re a star. The world is better with you in it.

Laura is a gem!
This podcast should be mandatory for ppl. The insight she provides into domestic violence and coercive control is essential. The compassion she sheds to the victim and the families is admirable (in other podcasts, it’s overlooked and missed!)

Loved the Batman shows!
It was wonderful to listen you and Umberto interact. I enjoyed the combination of both your areas of expertise coming together.

Shining a very big and overdue light on misogyny
Well worth a listen. It inspired me to stand up to a road rage bully and report him to the police. That process in itself was interesting.
It details brutal violence against women with lots of insights into women’s worth in a patriarchal society. It is a podcast about change and hope too.
Thanks Laura!!

Thankful for this podcast
Laura Richard’s is so accomplished, so intelligent and so passionate. She could be intimidating. But she has so much compassion and care. She interviews with kindness and respect.
I have learned so much from her. One review said it was like taking a master class. I totally agree!

Praise for Crime Analyst
As a follower of RCP, I’ve been a fan of Laura and her work for a while. CA takes a deep dive into the issues that matter, including Coercive Control, and helps to teach listeners about the dangers they may not have recognized. She helps to point out and recognize patterns, and, she has undoubtedly helped people avoid, and leave, unhealthy and dangerous relationships.
Thank you for all you do!

Like taking a master class in crime analysis
Imagine taking an engaging course from the best professor to learn how crime analysts see criminal behavior? Laura Richards was already one of my sheroes, but now I feel like she also here to teach us how to look at criminal behavior and call out the biases in investigation that allow perpetrators to flourish. Love this pod.

You are refreshing!
I feel like I’m often singing into an echoless canyon. You are an echo. You say things that are obviously true and have been true for thousands of years, and yet, yet, what you say is not said nearly enough. Women have been groomed. Misogyny is everywhere, mostly unremarked. I wish I could have lunch with you and reinforce your wisdom and courage.
