Really well done
Laura Richards is a shero and this podcast is really great. She is an expert in the field and a fierce advocate for victims which is rare in the crime podcast world. We’re lucky she is taking the time to share her insight and be a voice for the victims of crime.

Excellent Podcast
Laura Richards brings a wealth of knowledge and true empathy to her analysis of criminal behavior as well as assessing police response. She puts the victims front and center and shines a light on coercive control. Absolutely fascinating and so needed

Thank you for always putting victims first!!
Instead of sensationalizing the crimes and glorifying the perpetrator, in Crime Analyst, Laura Richards puts the victims at the center of their own stories. And she calls out the misogyny and male entitlement at the heart of violence against women. This podcast is a must-listen.
Thank you, Laura, for your authenticity, compassion, and for reminding us real crime enthusiasts that these are real people, suffering real tragedy.

Outstanding
Laura Richards is a force. She’s a passionate no-nonsense victim centered advocate with so much experience and knowledge. Already loved her on her other podcast, RCP, but crime analyst is my new fav. Have binged all the episodes one after another. Keep them coming!!

Deep dive into crime
The hostess takes a novel approach to discussing crime- focus on the victims, both direct & indirect, living and dead. This approach provides a more thorough view of motive, compulsion, and psychology of crimes. Also delivers a more compassionate story when the victim and their families are given more attention.

Laura!!
I love you on RCP, but I especially love you here. Your passion and eloquent words have opened my eyes to how desperately things need to change. Thank you for speaking up for those who have no voice. Because of you, I will forever be cognizant of how I speak of victims and those how victimize.
Keep up the hard work, it’s truly making a difference.

Crime Analyst
Laura Richards handling of this devastating and brutal subject matter is flawless in its professionalism. Her empathy and compassion for the victims , survivors and the families of those affected is evident in every episode. Laura Richards is an expert guide on this deep dive into a disturbing case that merits from her expert analysis.

I’m hooked
This is fascinating and disheartening to listen too. Your point of view and the highlighting of misogyny and injustice to these victims is so important to hear. My heart goes out to the victims families and all their children. Well done Laura, this is an excellent podcast. From an NZ fan.

Incredible
Amplifying voices and remember the victim is so important in true crime. So many times the victims are glossed over. Called only the victim. But Laura always makes sure #wesaytheirnames showing respect and honoring them. I’m inspired. I am changed. Just over 2 episodes. So good.

SO GOOD
Exceptional podcast. Victim-centered, highly detailed, and experience-informed analysis. Laura Richards is such an example of an advocate, expert and human being.

Men
Men think differently but I don’t think they should get an out for their behavior.
If they see prostitutes and they aren’t checked for sexually transmitted diseases he could bring that home to his wife or partner.
please when you finish this killer can you talk about what his behavior and personality was like so women can see the day to day behavior and what they could be doing at night. So they can get away faster.

Love Laura!
I have been listening to Laura for years since the beginning of her other podcast. I love her insight and expertise and I always appreciate her focus on the victim. You can hear her passion for the victims and giving a voice to the voiceless.

Stop everything you are doing and listen immediately.
I am blown away by Laura Richards and her podcast Crime Analyst. Her investigative skills are extraordinary, but what I enjoy even more is her ability to communicate her findings and reasoning with such clarity and conviction. She is also changing the narrative of this case where a serial killer has been glorified for over forty years. An arduous task – but a more than necessary one that not only acknowledges the victims, but also provides them with a voice and the acknowledgement they and their families deserve. Join her on this journey that is rewriting history – you will not regret it.

Outstanding!
My teenage years were spent in Yorkshire living in fear of the horrific crimes of PS. I was petrified to go out, and sadly frightened of seeing the images of the victims appearing on the news. Now as an adult woman after listening to Laura’s incredible analysis of the case I now understand why; a blundered misogynistic investigation. How dreadful It is that feared those poor mothers, daughters and sisters because of the way the case was reported and managed. It really is shameful.
No one will listen to this podcast without feeling a whole range of emotions and a strong desire to create change.

Exceptional Crime Podcast
From: @spinwithvin1
This podcast is an exceptional work.
Episode #3 where Laura interviews Richard McCann is remarkable.
After listening to the latest episode, I can’t wait for the next episode. It’s mesmerizing. The subject matter is horrendous, but the passion and enthusiasm for her work shines through every delivered sentence. I cannot say enough about how fantastic this podcast is.
Keep up the great work.
I’m a fan 👍

Inside the Mind of a Crime Analyst
Listening to this podcast is like being inside Laura’s mind as she connects the dots and works for victims, and it’s fascinating.

Excellent Insights
I first became familiar with Laura on Real Crime Profile. She also provided great insight and thorough analysis on that podcast and she continues to do so on her own in Crime Analyst. It must have been daunting to go it alone but if anyone is up to the challenge it's Laura. The first few episodes focussing on P.S and his reign of terror over Yorkshire are very compelling. I am thoroughly enjoying her analysis. Congratulations on going solo Laura and on your engagement xxx

This podcast is so fascinating. Laura talks in depth about a case that I thought had been fully disclosed to the public but there is so much more to learn. Laura is really respectful when she speaks of the victims - she clearly puts the feelings of the families at the forefront. She uses historic tapes from the news etc. which add to the context. The best pscyhologically based crime podcast I have heard.
