Rate ShowI have been following Laura Richards for quite some time now. I am so grateful for and in awe of her critical mission! Her work is truly changing lives. I devoured the first 2 episodes of Crime Analyst and cannot wait for the next. Taking the power away from the offenders and giving voices back to the victims and their families in a very profound way. No one realizes how fancy names and media obsession of the OFFENDERS punish the victims and/or their families over and over again. Keep it up Laura! This podcast is incredibly well done!

Learning A Lot!
I like Ms Richards thorough approach to this topic. Especially appreciated is that she avoids sensationalizing the crime/criminals and instead gives voice to the victims.

Because
Could you somehow let people know that due to
(The man of the family not doing his job) this is what these women had to do to feed there children.
And list the name of the person who left the wife and children and would not help with the children’s care.
They don’t have to be married just being the dad
Means they need to give financials. If they are on drugs and alcohol or is abusive they can’t see the children.

Very interesting podcast from one of RCP’s own.
I thoroughly enjoy Laura’s insights on RCP and wasn’t disappointed when I listened to the first episode of Crime Analyst. I highly recommend this podcast for anyone interested in a deep dive into the cases Laura covers. Excellent job, Laura!

The real deal
I’ve been listening to Laura on True Crime Profile all year—it didn’t take long for me to realize she is absolutely brilliant and such an incredible advocate. I’m a clinical social worker; every episode is a master class. I’m so exited this podcast began!

Powerful and insightful
Episode 2 is outstanding. Richard McCann is such an insightful and compassionate person. I have been a fan of Laura Richards for years. These two activists together: there is hope for the world. Excellent points on treatment of victims, the legal process, focus on the perpetrators, language used in these cases, and media.

A must listen for true crime lovers!
I’ve worked in law enforcement for many years, with both perpetrators and victims. We need to remember to focus on the names of the victims. I find that so many podcasts focus only on the perpetrator’s story. Laura does an exceptional job with keeping the focus of the stories on the victims. She makes sure they aren’t side notes to their own tragedies and that is such a refreshing change.

Must listen if you want to learn about the victims
I followed Laura from Real Crime Profile, another excellent podcast I’ve been listening for years. They have been educating me for years on how to talk about crime without disrespecting the victims so I’m 100% sure this podcast will just further that education. So far, it’s delivering superbly. Thank you, Laura!
There’s a documentary on Netlifx about the case Laura is discussing in episode 1 and 2. I will not say the name of it but it’s an interesting companion watch to this wonderful podcast. I was extremely grateful for Laura for creating this podcast because I was appalled at what I learned during the documentary and it shone a light into an aspect of the case that I would have liked the documentary to focus on.

Top-Notch
I have been listening to Laura on other podcasts for awhile now. I have learned a lot from her that has changed my perspective on how I see the world. I had never heard of coercive control until Laura. Listening to her really helped me to understand what happened to me as a child and work thorough my issues. I love Laura’s analytic skills and deep dive into cases from the victims perspective and not glorifying the offender. Thank you Laura, you really are top-notch. You make me proud.

A professional and heartfelt view of the crime
I really enjoy RCP podcast so was excited to hear Laura was going to do her own pod. Loved the first episode and Interview with Richard McCann. Really looking forward to future episodes. Laura is a hard hitter, not afraid to speak the truth and educate.

Thank you!
I’ve loved listening to Laura since the RCP podcast and I am so glad she is giving us more amazing content with the Crimea Analyst episodes. They are insightful and so respectful to the victims that you really feel a connection with the people that really matter - victims, survivors and their families. I am always curious about behavior and I’m happy to have Laura’s expertise to teach me about characteristics of extreme behavior as well as warning signs. Thank you for sharing your expertise with us, Laura! ❤️

Just the best!
Laura shows us again how to speak up for victims. She does an amazing job addressing the elements of the crimes without feeding into the sensationalism of the perpetrators. She also gives surviving family members a voice and space to share their grief and experiences with horrific crimes. Thank you, Laura, for your dedication and passion for victims.

Such a great podcast
An excellent podcast from Laura which focuses on the victims. She is so qualified to do a series like this and I love how she refuses to use the killer’s name. I loved the first episode. It’s for the real true crime geeks.
