Crime Analyst

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.

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.

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!!

Laura is an amazing advocate for the protection of women. I can’t rate this show highly enough. Follow Laura on X too.
