Amazing and informative. Listening to you is making me better able to articulate and call out what is just not acceptable. I wish you were around during my 25 year marriage where I was broken down day by day. But, I have you now and I can already feel more validated. Thank you

Victims First and Foremost
At last, a study which does not create a celebrity out of a criminal. Delivered with gravitas, mindful of the victims and their families. The ethos of this should be part of mainstream secondary education and then in more depth, part of ongoing courses within every crime related profession in the country, definitely including journalists.
Thank you.

Excellent
I have been a fan for a long time but Laura’s episode with Sara Edmundson today was so good! I appreciated that Laura had taken the time to read her book and was well informed which made for a great interview.

Illuminating, exceptional podcast
An exceptional podcast that really goes into detail and quite some depth on the very dark behaviours and motivations behind many terrible crimes.
Why do people act and do the things they do, what drives them? Human behaviour can be extremely complex and at times, contradictory and difficult to understand.
Laura Richards heavy lifting over the years and in depth work help to uncover the why behind such sad events.
However, more important than anything she keeps victims, and survivors are the heart of it all whilst also providing essential lessons we can all learn from.

Have only just discovered this show…
It’s incredible. The depth of analysis. The advocacy for victims. I’m currently up to the Gabby Petito case. It’s completely infuriating. The misogyny and the complete ineptitude of the police. The lack of protection for Gabby. Unbelievable.

She opens my eyes
Laura Richard’s is able to detect and explain in a clear and easy to understand way how corruption and the desire to maintain control and power can taint not only individual relationships but our society and the legal system. This podcast is a must listen.

Expert Women’s Advocate
Laura - this is an amazing podcast hosted by an incredible expert in crime analysis. Thank you for breaking down crimes against women to expose opportunities to prevent violence against women and the sexist attitudes that have enabled the devastation of women’s and children’s lives! Even more so- thank you so much for taking a strong stance on violence against women, for standing up against the misogyny in our institutions and for putting measures in place to protect women from unnecessary suffering and injustice! The battle for our safety and recognition as equal human beings is not yet over- thank you for encouraging us to remain engaged in creating justice for women.

More than just voyeurism
I’m guilty of listening to or watching a lot of true crime but I’m always left with questions about how these things happen and what we could’ve done to perhaps prevent these incidents or at least stop them from happening again. This is the first podcast I’ve found that tries to help us understand some of what was going on in these situations. Laura is so knowledgeable and professional that I no longer feel like I’m just wasting my time listening to sad stories that have no point. This show is actually educational and useful! Thanks for shining a light into some of the dark corners of the human experience!

Laura and Jackie are amazing!!
Absolutely loving the episode with Laura, Jackie and Tristan - these awesome women are sticking to the facts, compassionately challenging Tristan and not letting him avoid tough questions, and as always putting the women at the heart of the story. Love it!!

Extremely high quality podcast
Laura is simply the greatest. Incredibly detailed analysis delivered in a very accessible manner. You can hear she really cares about her subjects, and she is extremely passionate about spreading her incredible knowledge of coercive control and its insidious effects. A voice of reason who will one day win a Nobel Prize for her efforts toward saving the lives of women and children. Thank you, Laura for your courageous and inspiring contribution to the world.

Compelling listening
This podcast is excellent listening. I had seen Laura on TV shows previously and her depth of knowledge and experience was clearly evident as it is in Crime Analyst. Laura’s passion for truth, justice and her commitment to standing up for women and calling out coercive control and male violence is inspiring.

Well what can I say? This lady puts the victims of these horrendous crimes at the front and centre of her narrative (and not before time). Thank you for all ur hard working on putting these together…

Love the podcast, love Laura.
I absolutely love Laura Richards. She’s extremely knowledgeable, skilled and I see these crimes from a different point of view because of her. She always puts victims first, and she puts a person to the name.
However, I would love to be able to go into this podcast and go straight to the crime I am listening to rather than having to scroll through. I would love the episodes to be put into groups so you can just listen to one story at a time.

Crime Analyst
By far one of the best crime podcasts out there. Laura Richards’ extensive training and experience is absolutely invaluable to not only women but for crime prevention as a whole. She is an incredible force for education and change. Laura is clearly highly intelligent and well spoken. Thank you so much for all the work you have done and continue to do.

The “R” word
Great podcast, some excellent interviews and I love how Laura allows her guests to speak and doesn’t interrupt constantly. My only criticism is I found it annoying that she called the killer PS, like I get it, he doesn’t deserve the attention but I just find it very “lord Voldemort” (he who shall not be named” Fully support not glorifying him by calling him the Yorkshire R but I think you can say his name.
I love that she’s bringing much needed attention to male violence against women! We (society) needs to do better!

Laura
One of my favorite podcasts. Having been in bad situations I appreciate Laura’s work.
It amazes me how many times men who have authority dismiss the awful things men do to women.
