Real Crime Profile

My favourite trio. They feel like friends to me! Lisa’s passion, Jim’s outrage, Laura’s calm rationale… I always look forward to their episodes. Always insightful, always interesting, sometimes controversial, always insightful.

Hi Laura, Lisa and Jim, I really have a lot to say but I’ll try the short version. I’m very passionate in real crime stories and like a year ago I was searching some American english podcast to hear on my way to work when I bumped into “Real Crime Profile”. I listened the very first episode of January 2016 and I thought it was an interesting one to start with. I literally couldn’t stop since then, I’ve been listening one episode after another and I do not want to skip a single one. The more I listen the more I like it. Right now I’m at February 8th 2023 episode “Survivors of Harvey Weinstein” and looking forward to catching up. Unfortunately coercive control and abuse in all their kinds It’s a world major problem. Thank you for all the great work and passion you put into it, for the amazing guests and interviews, for the awareness you spread worldwide and for your precious advice and suggestions to get out in safety. I myself was expose to the abusive behavior of my today ex husband, I clearly remember the fear for myself and my two little daughters, the furious banging on the door, the sleepless nights. I was alone in a foreign country, southern Italy, and no one but myself to count on. I though I was determined, I used all the instruments I could at the time, I filled a report to law enforcement, they tried to persuade me not to do so because I would ruin his life while he could change, I did it anyway and the judge granted me a restraining order, enough to make him back off, then in court I got the divorce. Today I understand how fortunate I was, things could’ve easily gone differently. Years after I helped a friend of mine to get out of a similar story and today I’m very inspired by you to be active helping and collaborating with associations against women violence. I’ve never met you but I love you. I get angry and have the “WTF” reaction with you. Laura and Jim I can’t thank you enough for the high professional experience you shared with us and Lisa this podcast wouldn’t have been the same without you, you are the light in the dark, the sweet taste. Keep the great work going and from the bottom of my heart, good luck.

Excellent podcast! Gives you real insight into certain criminal behaviour. Laura Richards is invaluable in her psychological analysis of stalking and coercive control and Jim Clemente gives you first rate technical evaluations and depictions. An eye opener on criminal behaviour.
