Popular Reviews of Crime Analyst

This podcast is so informative, taking complex subject matter breaking it down into manageable and understandable information. Laura is masterful, she cares deeply about the victims and their loved ones and that comes across in the show. I love how uncompromising she is about the way we speak about women, how victims of crime and coercive control and also perpetrators are described. I thought I understood this subject but I have learnt so much and at times it is uncomfortable as she confronts you head on with things that I personally took for granted. Now I see things differently and how the victims of PS were not valued and that women died unnecessarily. Cannot say enough about how good this is, yes it is entertainment but with the heart of an activist and Laura's relentless campaigning is inspirational.

Talking about crime with the right lens! No glory for offenders and only respect and honour for the victims. Thank you Laura for your continued leadership in this space.

There is no better microcosm to view misogyny through than this woeful police enquiry from Yorkshire and it is laid bare brilliantly and devastatingly here! All men should listen to see just what carnage crappy and lazy attitudes and assumptions about women can cause....

This podcast is so fascinating. Laura talks in depth about a case that I thought had been fully disclosed to the public but there is so much more to learn. Laura is really respectful when she speaks of the victims - she clearly puts the feelings of the families at the forefront. She uses historic tapes from the news etc. which add to the context. The best pscyhologically based crime podcast I have heard.

What a unique and amazing tale about the strength of families during the worst moments in their lives. I appreciate the more human approach to the stories being told. you get just as much information but in a smart and respectful way. Hearing about it from all of these different angles somehow makes it more real and not just another murder talkshow on a podcast show. It's horrifying and intriguing at the same time

Laura Richards' passion for bringing victims back to the forefront of their own murders, her passion for giving them their voice back really shines through in this podcast. One episode and I am hooked. Awesome start so far.

These podcasts are amazing, the knowledge of the case and in general about male violence is incredible. Laura is clearly very passionate about making a change and finding the truth which comes across in the level of detail she goes into. If you love real crime, you will love this and Laura is great and east to listen to.

I 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!

Delving deep with the experts. What more could you want! Laura is a true hero for victims and in particular female victims of male violence.

I have been looking forward to this podcast, and was not disappointed. Laura Richards knows her stuff and comes at cases from all angles, particularly the psychological and behavioural. As Laura says "the devil is in the details" and that is what was so tragically missed in this series of appalling crimes. The key though i think is that this podcast focuses on what is ultimately the most important part, which is the victims, and their loved ones. Very much looking forward to the next episode, addictive stuff!

I grew up in 80s Yorkshire and people were still talking about you know who in the same breath as the Moors murders. Great show.

Brilliant job by Laura! I’m a fellow Crime Analyst having worked hundreds of murder cases in the UK and have had the pleasure to know and work with Laura for many years.What separates this podcast from other true crime podcasts is the humanity behind the headlines. It provides a clinical breakdown of how the job gets done but the golden thread is always the victim and the huge impact violence against women and children has. As a society we are hotwired to focus on the offender and this podcast brings into sharp focus how totally wrong that is. Always question, always be curious, always realise the impact that language and assumptions has. Dig for the truth and always know behind every crime there is a family who has been destroyed by events. Bravo Laura, this podcast is a triumph and a heartfelt tribute to those lost lives and those living with the memories. #hernamewas

This is a brilliant podcast. Laura Richards uses her years of experience and amazing empathy to share the stories of the mostly forgotten and silent victims - the family and loved ones left behind after these horrifying crimes. I have always wondered about these people and how they get on with their lives and Laura is allowing them and their memories a voice. I have never been interested in the monsters that commit the atrocities so as heartbreaking as it is we now have a focus for those effected.

Laura Richards is so inspiring in her relentless quest for justice for women and our rights to live our lives without being harassed, stalked, assaulted, or murdered by men who feel rejected. Thanks Laura for all you do to protect victims and tell our stories.

Truly fascinating and engaging podcasts that cleverly unpick society's attitudes to victim blaming and the incredible police failings in the capture and arrest of PS.Highly recommended listening, in particular to Laura's interview with Julie Bindel, which exposes the 'macho culture', police cognitive bias, society's attitudes to violence against women/girls and prostitution.

Laura is such an important advocate for the forgotten victims and their families in historic murder and domestic abuse cases and for her proactive work to identify patterns of coercive control. This platform changes the narrative and gives the voice back to the victims.A fascinating and important listen.

Laura's professional skills and experience alongside empathy for the victims and their families shines through. Educational, enlightening and moving. It will open your eyes not only to past injustice, but also current, and she is working hard to change that too.

I'm not eloquent enough to put into words how phenomenal this podcast and Laura are. The work and change she is making by educating cannot be measured. Amazing podcast. AMAZING woman. If anyone gives anything less than 5 star they're a small minded idiot.

First episode conveys Laura's commitment to seeking out the victim's underlying story, involving family members who tell the story behind the headlines. A good in deptt, well thought out podcast.

Great podcast. Laura is so caring and is determined not to allow us to forget the victims. She is amazing! Keep it up Laura 💫
