Diddy trail
This podcast series regarding Sean Combs was so very informative and insightful. I hope through the efforts of Laura's subscribers and followers, that this content reaches many many people (women AND men). This series shone a light on his abhorrent behavior. While the outcome of the Sean Combs’ verdict was so very disturbing and disappointing it is my hope that the judge will consider all of his previous violence and bad acts and give him a very lengthy sentence. He needs to be off the streets and a long prison sentence away from his kids might help to deter his sons (if it is not too late) from becoming like him. One of his sons is already facing allegations of sexual assault so it appears the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Several years ago my middle daughter was invited by her friend to attend a party that one of Sean Comb’s sons was hosting (I won't name which one). During that event both my daughter and her friend had their drinks spiked by him. Thank God one of the catering staff had the presence of mind to alert my daughter of what they witnessed. My daughter did not ingest the drink which allowed her to get her friend (who was getting very disoriented) out of the situation. This really shocked my daughter as she could not believe he would do such a thing, especially in front of other attendees. This just goes to show how folks like him and his dad think that their celebrity status somehow make them above the law. That their money and power allow them to do and take whatever they want and it's made worse because many of the people they surround themselves with are complicit or even condone this type of behavior. It is sickening. As a mother of 3 adult daughters, (1 who was in an abusive relationships and subsequently stalked for 2 years) in listening to and watching Laura talk about coercive control and domestic violence I have been able to really understand this more deeply and as such I’ve had the confidence to have more informative conversations with my daughters and my friends about this behavior and how to spot and stop it. Laura is truly making a difference in educating and helping women by raising awareness about domestic violence and coercive control. Thank you Laura!
So much to learn
I just love Lauras podcast, it really sucked me in and i can’t stop listening. There’s so much to learn from her and i really appreciate all the really good and hard work she’s doing for all of us! <3
A 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.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Invaluable and informative. Thoroughly enjoy listening to the podcast.
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.
AMAZING 🤩

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.
