Excellent podcast
This is a brilliant podcast. So well researched, laid out and presented in respect of YR and then the special episodes on top of that are amazing and bring Laura’s very obvious skill and opinions into current topical and serious issues.

Well worth sticking with!
Big fan of Laura from her work with Real Crime Profile but I have to say Crime Analyst didn’t grab me from the beginning. The deep dive into PS was *deep* and the level of detail was admirable if not always engaging. However it’s really found it’s feet and the diversified content has been really welcome! Love listening to this now and if anyone is unsure I would encourage you to stick with it!

Crime Analyst
Laura brings it as usual, she’s an advocate for those that cannot speak for themselves.

Excellent, informative, refreshing
Brilliant Teacher! I love listening to Laura I have learned so much about Cohersive Control and in turn I have been able to help many of my patients. Clinically relevant and interesting. I hope Laura champions changing laws in the US as she did in the UK re domestic violence and coercive control. 🙌🏻

Laura Richards expose on the treatment of the women who were victims and victim survivors of a notorious UK serial killer is a must-listen. She picks apart the misogyny and incompetence of the investigation in a way that will open your mind and leave you reeling. It's amazing.

Thorough — Revealing
THE best crime podcast out there. I appreciate the focus on the victims as well as the broad and deep approach to the current day investigation.
*The terrible music devalues the overall experience and lowers the expectation of valuable information.

Does it get any more important than this?
Laura is truly the most knowledgeable, experienced, hardest-working, best informed, and most articulate person in podcasting, and that’s not to mention her tremendously impactful career in law enforcement, victim advocacy, and public awareness. I can’t recommend this podcast enough, it’s eye-opening and extremely educational, the prevalence of violence against women and girls is horrifying and every possible measure should be taken to end it. Educating yourself and the men in your life particularly is so important!!!!

Brilliant
Fabulously presented facts which shares the most important aspect of true crime….. the stories of the victims.

Finally some in-depth knowledge and real intelligence in the field of crime analysis. Laura's meticulous nature and highly considered delivery is truly infectious, leaving the listener wanting more and finally being able to see the crimes from the perspective of the person who matters the most. The Victim. Women and children now have a voice through her. Laura's delivery is impeccable, I am utterly hooked.

Strong Analysis
Laura gives victims a voice. Great analysis of the case and impact on families and survivors. Highly recommended.

Aside from her impeccable credentials, experience and expertise, Laura is so very articulate and clear and champions the victims and their families, raising up the victims to front and centre, relegating the ghastly perps to only such mention as is necessary to analyse their terrible crimes. Follow Laura, too, in the Realcrimeprofile podcast and on Twitter, she's marvelous!

Listen carefully and learn ❤️
I devour my podcasts of choice. I listen at 1-1/2 speed on most so I can enjoy them more quickly. However I leave CRIME ANALYST on standard speed. So much to take in and think about. Dig in, listen, learn, and be empowered! Thank you Ms. Richards you’re our hero 🤟🏼.

✨AN INSPIRATION✨
You can feel how much Laura cares about her work and all the victims/survivors discussed. Laura's passion and empathy are unmatchable. Thank you Laura for all that you do!

Kerri Kasem and Casey Kasem
Excellent podcast featuring Kerri Kasem. Insightful and thought-provoking. Elder abuse is not discussed enough in society. Laura lets her guests not only tell their stories and share expertise, but allows them to process their thoughts in a kind, respectful way. Highly recommend! Nanette

Forgotten Victims
We don’t have much knowledge in America about the massive manhunt for England’s maybe second most notorious serial killer. This went on in Yorkshire, England between 1969 and 1980, but the series of gruesome attacks on women gripped the entire country. Laura’s deep dive into the police investigation and criminal analysis of the perpetrator and his background are instructive to the point of mind-blowing. Everyone can learn from Laura’s experience and should listen to this.

Terrific and informative podcast
I’ve been listening to Laura for several years now and I can say that she’s had a major impact on the way I think about crimes and crime victims. I feel like I’m smarter and more well-informed as a result of her podcasts and the way she tells these important stories. This podcast is informative and it is a must listen! Keep up the good work Laura, you are making a real change in the way people think about crime victims.

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. Throughout this series: Excellent points on treatment of victims, the legal process, focus on the perpetrators, language used in these cases, and media. I was enthralled with this series from the beginning. More so with each new episode. Important criminal justice lessons as applicable in the USA as Britain. Highly recommend.

She breaks it down so well!!
I adore her! I listen to her on Real Crime Profile Podcast. i am so excited that she has her own podcast. I have enjoyed the first few episodes. She breaks things down and makes you understand in a different light. So much victim blaming on women. I feel stronger as a woman from just listening to her. As women, we are to worried about others feelings that we put ourselves in unsafe situations. She really points out the double standards in our society and the world around us. Thank you, Laura!

This is not just a deep dive
Laura Richards, for those who follow Real Crime Profile or anyone aware of the fight to establish coercive control legislation in the UK, had already occupied a position of incredible integrity, knowledge, and incisive intelligence. This podcast goes beyond true crime observation. Richards has been on the ground and speaks from a place of experience and compassion. If you are searching for information or answers along with thoughtful and often troubling analysis, Crime Analyst is the pod for you.

Educates & informs
This podcast is one of the most educational and informative podcasts on the planet. I love Laura’s style of presenting, and her eloquence too. Thanks to her, I’ve become very outspoken on gender issues because I’m now more - and correctly - informed.

Laura is a hero.
I first discovered Laura on the Amy Sher episode of The Vanished. That case touched me more than almost anything I’ve ever seen or heard in the “true crime” realm. Its right up there with the wrongful conviction of Adnan Syed in Baltimore in 1999. But when I heard Laura speak in Amy’s episode I discovered my favorite law enforcement agent on the internet. I listen to Real Crime Profile and Crime Analyst because of Laura’s contribution to that episode of The Vanished. I’ve learned so much about coercive control - what Amy’s husband Robert Desmond (ARREST HIM BEFORE I FIND HIM IN CALIFORNIA OR ALABAMA AND TAKE CRIME INTO MY OWN HANDS) did to her was absolutely despicable and it sickens me to my core.
I could go on forever about how I admire Laura, but, words really can’t do how I feel about this woman justice. The world is a better place because of her and I support any and everything she does.
Thank you, Laura Richards. Thank you for all you do. You are truly an inspiring and amazing person.

Listen to this
I probably should leave reviews more often, but I sometimes forget.
I found this podcast through Real Crime Profile (another podcast that I love). I have always felt while listening to RCP that Laura does an amazing as an advocate for women victimized by crime, and is just an advocate overall for women everywhere.
While listening to this podcast, “Crime Analyst”, I feel like I have learned SO much, but stuff I feel like should have known! I was disappointed in myself! I have both a son and a daughter (twins) and I always try to stay on top of information for BOTH of them regarding: relationships, consent, violence, etc. Luckily, my kids have no experience with any of this stuff so far. They are 14 though…
In the past recent years I have always double checked my facts and sources…but I admit that stuff I learned when I was younger was a little bit more hardwired. This podcast has really inspired me to look back at what I have learned when it comes to certain things.
Thank you Laura.
