Fascinating
Excellent, compelling podcast. In-depth information and insight from a law enforcement expert regarding how crimes are investigated. Laura is a great advocate for crime victims and women.
Beyond the crime
This podcast goes beyond the crime- it is a sobering look on our society when it comes to victims of a violent crime. Laura does a deep dive into the victim-ology, the mind of the perpetrator and educates the listener into looking at a perpetrator outside of a media moniker for what they really are... evil. It is podcasts like this that will positively change our society’s response to crime, the victim and the accused. A must listen to podcast.
A forensic deconstruction of a familiar case, presented in a way which is accessible without being over simplified. Laura keeps the victims at the forefront of the story and ensures that they, rather than the perpetrator, are the focus. The failings of the investigation are jaw dropping and the discussions of inherent misogyny and prejudice gave me pause for thought - particularly discussions around the language used to talk about female victims of male violence. I look forward to future seasons of Crime Analyst.
Simply the best
Extremely educational and interesting.
Honoring Victims
I think this is a great podcast, not sensationalizing but analyzing and honoring. Love anything you do Laura.
So informative
Laura is an amazing advocate for women and victims of abuse. Her research and dedication to spreading her message and actually changing laws is outstanding. This podcast is essential listening.
Listen and Learn
I absolutely love being able to listen to Laura. I have learned so much from her and this podcast and look forward to each episode to hear her insight and analysis.
Best real crime Podcast
Already being a big fan of Real Crime Profile got me here and I love it! Laura taught me to focus more on the victims (and survivors) of crime than on the perpetrators, which should be the standard but sadly isn’t. So many things were being treated as “normal” when I was growing up, and Laura makes me really question how I see them now. Not only in relation to crime, but also how women are seen and treated nowadays and how much still has to change. This podcast ist informative, it’s thoroughly researched, interesting and frankly sometimes eyeopening. A must-listen!!!
This is Laura's best podcast to date. After watching the Yorkshire Ripper documentary and being shocked at the major failings by the police I knew I had to listen to this podcast. It didn't disappoint. Laura is spot on with all her conclusions to the case. If he only she was in charge back then. Highly recommended 💯
Incredibly moving and thought-provoking.
Such a thoughtful, meticulous podcast. It has completely changed my perspective on true crime and how we approach violence against women and girls. I never knew how triggering pithy monikers for murderers were - now I notice them everywhere and try not to use them myself. Great work Laura, what you do is so important!
Deep Analysis
Great long form analysis. Much more rewarding than the 1 hour turn around true crime show.
To quote the spice girls GIRL POWER.
This woman can do it like lunch. I love the eye opening jaw dropping point of view. Thank god someone with her genius is helping us take on the patriarchy through the crime lens. Her passion and wit are inspirational.
Excellent
I was recommended this pod cast from a friend and wow! have thoroughly enjoyed every episode! This pod cast has had a huge impact on me and how I now have a much deeper insight into the justice system and it’s lack of forward thinking in violence against woman. I will read articles in a far different mind set and has helped me articulate how I already felt about misogyny. Have you got any other pod cast? Thanks for you incredible work and efforts with violence against women.
Perfect!
Love this! I have so much admiration for Laura’s work and passion. So glad she has her own podcast because I could never get enough of what I needed to hear about advocacy and how much further we need to go as a society to protect women from violent predators.
Thank you!
Excellently researched, respectfully delivered with strong reminders of the absolute necessity for Change. I find myself shouting out ‘YES’ ‘WHAT???!!!’ ‘NO!!!!’ (& stronger of course) Thank you for sharing your passion & ALL that you continue to do to right the wrongs and expose the crimes along the path to justice. Misogyny IS a hate crime!!!
Excellent
This became my favorite podcast by her second episode. It’s a must listen.
Stellar
Laura’s heartfelt sensitivity for women who are victims of unspeakable cruelty combined with her keen insight into the analysis of male violence against women make this podcast, like everything she touches, gold.

I look forward to the Crime Analyst Podcast every week, listening while I walk. Laura's work has deepened my perspective on the pervasive coercive control that underpins so many crimes against women and the stubborn indifference of the criminal justice system. Keep up your work Laura
Thank you.
I can’t say it any better than the other commenters, so I’m just going to thank you for your informative and thought provoking podcast. You get me riled up every week, and thinking about how we can start getting things to change. I was waiting for your comments on Ms. Everard, and you were exactly right. The part that affected me the most was in the episode where Wilma McCann’s son said that she wasn’t a prostitute, but it didn’t matter if she was, his mother would do what she had to do to take care of her children - nobody said anything about his father’s failure to take care of/provide for his family. I know that’s not the exact quote, but everyone reading this knows what I mean.
Excellent!!!
Love this podcast! So well researched and delivered with the utmost respect to victims and their families.
Great Podcast
This podcast is very thorough. I appreciate the in-depth details.
Best Podcast
I’ve listened to a lot of true crime, but Laura’s analysis is the best. Thank you Laura for all your advocacy, and for using the words ‘’misogyny’ and ‘femicide’ to name these crimes. How long before society realizes that half the population is targeted for violence because of the their sex.
Informative
I like the podcast and I’ve heard and seen Laura on tv and other podcasts and I really like how she has made the victims the most important part of the story and how she looks at the case with an instructive eye. I did find it a bit hard to follow, I kinda felt like I was just dropped in the middle. I needed a bit more background and more of a timeline presented.
The more things change
Based on what is happening in the UK right now. The police don’t seem to have changed there attitudes about women
