Crime Analyst

Excellent information on coercive control, risk assessment, domestic abuse, an protecting women.

I’d never hear the term coercive control until finding Laura. Her passion on educating the public & teaching best practices for those that are in law enforcement will hopefully change laws. Her deep dives into cases is unmatched. Thank you Laura for continuing to beat the drum.

Laura Richards takes us through the meticulous workings of her brilliant brain. She encourages us to drop bias and prejudice and really look at people.. the victims, the criminals, and ourselves. She is a no nonsense, critical thinker… and she doesn’t approve of sloppy police work. Laura is not afraid to challenge victim blaming and unequivocal representation and leadership. She is a champion for justice.

Laura Richard’s is the perfect balance of an analytical and compassionate approach to podcasting. Her research and advocacy have resulted in monumental changes to how victims are spoken about and rightfully return focus on the perpetrators. Laura’s professional teaching should be mandatory across all law enforcement and more importantly law makers. Thank you Ms. Richard’s for inspiring women globally to trust our instincts, be curious, and stand up to violence. You truly are a generational change maker and mentor.
