Rate ShowA must listen for all women
Fabulous! I hate that this content needs to be shared, but it truly does. As a woman and a mother of a young adult woman, I find Laura's podcast extremely informative!! Thank you for all you've done, and continue to do, to support and protect women!!!
Warriors for Women and children
Laura and her warrior survivors are helping the authorities, the politicians and the wider community to understand the red flags, the psychopathy and how to prevent domestic violence against women and children through real action. A sobering and must listen podcast for women and perhaps most importantly, men.
An Essential Listen for Every Woman
I absolutely love The Crime Analyst podcast. I implore women around the world to listen to this brilliant woman as she fearlessly sheds light on some of the biggest dangers women face every single day. It's educational, enthralling, and magnificently delivered. Laura Richards is a force—her expertise, compassion, and dedication to justice make this podcast not just important, but vital.
My New Favourite Podcast
I recently heard Laura when she was a guest on another Podcast and I stopped in my tracks when I discovered she had consulted for the UK Coercive Control laws.
Since then, I have realised that Laura talks about her insight and passion for revealing these antisocial behaviours in the Crime Analyst Podcast.
Laura brings to the table real experience in informing legislators on the dangers of Coercive Control. She is able to interweave this expertise with vast case-studies and inform listeners in an interesting and passionate manner.
I have especially enjoyed the recent discussions on the Rico charges Sean Combs is being tried on, and how this relates to a previous trial involving Keith Raniere.
I highly recommend the Crime Analyst Podcast for the information Laura provides on this vitally important topic.
Honest and Insightful
As someone who has been fixated on the Ellen Greenberg case for over a decade, I very much appreciated the episodes about her case especially. I've listened to other podcasts about it that do not discuss that she was in an abusive relationship, flat out say she did not have defensive wounds... It's infuriating. Thank you for your amazing insight and passion, Laura!

Excellent information and support for women in or after abusive relationships
Laura is an eloquent speaker with an excellent expertise on trauma related to abusive relationships and violence against women.
Her clear analyses of abusive behaviour helps to identify patterns like coercive control.
She brings in guests in her podcast that have either been victims themselves or have been investigating such cases.
This is mind blowing. I do not feel that alone in with my history as a victim.
If have known what I learned in her podcast early as a teenager I would have had the chance to not fall into the trap of an violent, controlling partner.
Laura, thank you for your amazing and women empowering job!
The show we’ve needed!
Laura’s professionalism, evidence-based perspectives, victim-centered and systems-based approach is the type of crime analysis we have needed. Her show should be required listening for anyone in law enforcement, domestic violence interfacing fields, social services, and on and on! This is the best show I have ever listened to in the realm of true crime. In particular, she stands alone at the pinnacle of the pretty much non-existent justice-focused, social change, hold-criminals-truly-accountable genre. Absolute best and deserving of all the awards!!

A true learning experience
A podcast that is informative , interesting and scary. That all these women and families were let down, due to males that thought they knew better. The manner in which victims were spoken about. I find I now call out news articles that have written similar headlines.
Amazing insight gained
I’ve been listening to Laura on CA and on RCP for years. I’ve learned so much about human behavior and coercive control. I was hoping you could cover the case of Mamta Bhatt, a nurse in Northern Virginia. Her body still hasn’t been found but her husband was charged in her death. Thank you for considering

Smart Person Alert
Refreshing to hear intelligent, informed voices in a sea of content where anyone can seem authoritative if they do a face to camera video.
Highly Recommend
I’ve admired Laura for a long time and the work that she does. In my opinion, the greatest strength of this podcast is how eloquently Laura delivers the terminology needed to discuss domestic violence and crime. It almost arms the listener with the language necessary to explain their own experiences — and those of others — helping keep important conversations open to promote change and challenge the status quo.

Survivors of domestic violence can listen to this podcast and feel understood and believed.
Fabulous
Absolutely fabulous, looks at crime with a different perspective and reviews the language used.
Lessons learned - but not implemented
Looks how we as individuals in other services and help and make a difference
Love this
The best in the biz
Listening to crime analyst is somehow like listening to a good friend but also a good friend who is skilled in behaviorial profiling and has an expertise in serial abuse and how it too often gets normalized or ignored. I’ve learned so much about murder in slow motion and stalking and signs to look for. It’s not just a great, entertaining podcast. It’s also informative and indeed life changing. I love it. Highly recommend.
Important, victim centred, clear and informative podcast
Understanding violent crimes against women in a wider context of misogyny and patriarchal structures over time is vital. This podcast is a great example of that.

Supremely informative and thought provoking.
Laura provides a clear and informative podcast which is supremely informative and thought provoking. The strong bias towards the victims is refreshingly different and provides a thoughtful and considerate insight into the often forgotten people in these crimes. I would highly recommend this series to anyone interested in facts and not sensationalist opinions.

I am having trouble finding words to do this podcast and Laura justice. It’s so incredibly moving and insightful. Some of her guests are just admirable beyond words. The work Laura has done, and continues to do, is so important. Laura, Australia needs you. Everyone, male and female, of all ages, should listen to this.

Hero
I bow down to the undisputed hero and pro Laurs Richards. Her unpretentious but powerful analysis of crimes against women and the profiling she does of the men who harm them has taught me so much. She is a beacon of light and sense and goodness in a dark world. Laura has such intelligence and her knowledge and sensitivity shine through. Listening to Laura’s calm, authoritative explanation of coercive control has been a huge factor in saving me and helping me gain clarity and get out of a very bad marriage, and I’m forever grateful to her and the great guest speakers she has on. They light the way for women like me, and show us a way out. This podcast shows a true pro doing what she does best. Total class 🌟
A voice to the silenced
Laura Richards’ podcast is one of the most empowering, validating, and informative resources I’ve ever come across. As a survivor of abuse, I’ve often struggled to find the words to describe what I went through — and to feel truly understood.
Crime Analyst changed that. Laura’s insights gave language to my experience, helped me make sense of the tactics used against me, and gave me the confidence to stand in my truth.
This podcast is not just educational — it’s a lifeline. Thank you, Laura, for helping survivors feel seen, heard, and believed.
