She has a podcast and she repeatedly says let’s stop glamourising the serial killers with their faces and names all over the news and start remembering the victims. She’ll often name the victims to honour them, and make whatever case she’s analysing victim focused. Her podcast is really good!
Listening to her podcasts, I sense that we are not taking stalking and coercive control seriously enough. We have young men looking up to Andrew Tate as a role model. The police are not taking it seriously today. The horse racing producer who wife and two daughters killed by the daughter ex. Pretty sure that there were reports about his behaviour and the police failed to act. This was on the news about 3 months ago.
Laura Richards is a global hero in this field. She has done more to protect women and children as well as more to apprehend the cowardly men who harm them, than any other individual. And she’s been at it for decades. She deserves a Nobel Peace Prize for her contribution to stopping male violence against women and children.
I have seen this lady on documentaries before, and been impressed by her calm straight forward presentation of the narrative, without talking down the seriousness of the content. She lets content speak for itself which makes it easier to understand, for me. Does she even have a gong from royalty. She clearly deserves one.
@mary-y8x8h she didn't present ANY evidence whatsoever of achieving anything... she simply appealed to your hatred of men ... she pulled you in with your emotions and took you into a story.
@shadelings married 17 years, three children, professional job. Ridicule, insult and the need to ignore the truth. Know thyself. Play the ball nit the player. Argue my points don't cast aspersions on to the messenger.

Saving 58 lives a year is impressive. Stalking is still not taken as seriously as it should be. I've watched more than one video on TH-cam where the police didn't act after the intended victim contacted them. Tragedy followed, which is so disturbing.
I was stalked by a a Police Officer in NYC. When I went to file a report/compliant at his precinct his Lieutenant was laughing and was trying to persuade me to not file.
It's also distressing when stalking or domestic violent offenders are let out of prison without their victims being notified, only to have the offenders murder their victims shortly thereafter.

If you've ever dealt with a psychopathic person in real life before you will understand why Laura sees the prospect of rehabilitating them as so futile. You can't convince someone they should care about others when their brain literally isn't capable of it.
Yes. The people who truly think they can be rehabilitated don't understand. They haven't been a victim of those people; haven't been in the cross-hairs, thinking they're going to die. Haven't lived with a psychopathic person and seen how they switch from emotion to emotion like playing cards.
100, I tried to tell someone recently there is no cure, for high level narcissists and psychopaths. They won't believe me. They haven't experienced them. There just isn't. Green dream them
Great ro see Laura here. I've been listening to her podcast for years. I really appreciate how she keeps fighting to bring attention to violence against women and how its overlooked time and time again.
I’ve just come across her here for the first time and am enamored with her knowledge and passion. Would you mind letting me know what her podcast is called?
@@alyssaroxanne9084- sure! Her podcast is called Crime Analyst. She was also on Real Crime Profile with Jim Clemente for ages, and there's lots of back-episodes with her. She's the real deal.
Her podcast crime analysis is fantastic however the Peter Sutcliffe one is disturbing the breakdown is disgusting the fact they spoke to him 9 times and 1 arrest for dui then he was arrested for using a sex worker chances are they saved her life that night
Everything said here about stalking is really important. Someone as high profile as Rhianna, with mountains of money. Still had an incredibly difficult journey in court. Proving this guy was, in fact stalking. Even though it was widely known and documented, the guy was doing what he was doing. This happens to everyday people. And when you are put in this situation, it is very scary.
It is very important. Stalking is way more prevalent nowadays with social media and it should be prosecuted more harshly. Of course it wouldn't stop every stalker but at least we would get the clearly deranged people who do this out of society for extended periods of time. It seems that currently stalkers get a slap on the wrist or no punishment at all if they "only" mentally torment people and ruin their lives. Everyday people often have no resources to combat stalker problems other than calling the local police. And way too often they do nothing about it if violence hasn't happened yet and with time these cases inevitably lead to the horrible outcomes we read on the news. I'm glad there's people out there pushing for change though!
The term murder in slow motion is so apt. Many people who are stalked report feeling like they're just waiting to be killed. It is insidious and psychologically disturbing 😣
Yeah my ex brother in law was a nightmare and wacked out on meth,police showed up and said even if my sisters scared to death we can’t do anything till he actually hits, kills etc somebody Luckily in the last incident I mentioned he pushed me, not thinking anything of it, and the cop said oh if he pushed you first we can take him away.. so I said ok and after years of disaster he was finally out of her house and restraining order in place so he couldn’t come back..
It struck me hard that as a woman I know stalking is extremely dangerous behaviour, and that it didn't seem that obvious to the police... then again it makes sense that men don't have the same life experience and fears. At least there's a number of men that are willing to listen. We just need more.
No, we need more women like Laura and women who defend themselves instead of relying on men to change. Like you said, they don't live like us, so they don't understand the fear and anxiety.
Extremely dangerous behaviors with murder threats ect. Following outing everywhere. That's not someone or a crime ring thousands of miles away. " smell the bacon" at 2am on harbor. Ihop they are close to there some of the members with an antenna and bluetooth. When I can smell the bacon across the street. They have exact patterns. Sometime at a point the perputrators in cases like mine need be tracked but brought down by force because are consistantly and continued crime spree and are commiting high felony crimes. The patterns are the same.
Men with partner or daughters do get to understand this. It's true, women live with this problem. Good people of all genders need to cooperate, but likely it's closer to heart to someone who really experiences this reality to speak up against it.
I pressed play without reading the details and recognized Laura Richards' voice instantly. Good for you for getting Laura Richards on your show. What an excellent person she is. I've learned so much from her podcasts.
@@Heartwing37 Laura is the host of her own show Crime Analyst, which starts with an amazing deep dive on the Yorkshire murder series that got her into her role and was until recently co-host on Real Crime Profile.
This is the best of this series so far! Absolutely fascinating, I was hanging on every word of Laura’s. Also huge props to the interviewer for asking such intelligent and searching questions. More please!
@@ladbiblestoriesAGREE 1000%. Your stories of women survivors are empowering, but seeing a woman at the helm of a solution is absolutely next-level healing. ❤
This woman deserves a statue or a medal or a monument.. she's literally a hero.. just based on how many lives she and her team have personally saved.. the children who can grow up with a mother. ❤ She's my new hero ❤
I was at a stalking prevention conference many years ago where Laura Richards gave a speech. She was brilliant at putting the facts across in such a clear and consice way. I didn't realise how well known she was until I saw her on television, she's the best advocate for anti stalking and other serious crimes.
I would say the look on her face at the end is a culmination of decades of seeing/dealing with the very worst parts of humanity, and barely able to hold back tears of grief, rage and sorrow for those she wasn't able to save.
Incredible, fascinating woman ETA - It’s so nice to hear her state unequivocally that these types of offenders cannot be rehabilitated. It’s fine for mental health professionals to consider ideas about treatment. That’s their angle. But that should have no bearing whatsoever on decisions about subjecting the public to the risk
For those who don't know Corey's case: Corey was put on the treadmill by Greg for being "too fat" and he tortured that little boy with exercise i.a. until his little body gave out. 😢 The courts giving Greg access to his son after 100 reports by Corey's mum should sit in prison with him as well.
And women who are just like Corey's mum, who are trying their hardest to protect their children, are too often accused of parental alienation for reporting child abuse. I see so many men saying how unfair the family courts are to men, but the truth is they're not fair to children. They don't protect children from abusive fathers, even when there is more than enough evidence to press charges. Laura gets abused online all the time for using the term 'male violence' by people who don't care about the victims, don't even really care about men and boys, but hate that a woman is calling it out for what it is.
@@tstarr8314I don't think people who are trying to deny reality because it doesn't align with their worldview or hurts their feelings are worth listening to and I truly hope it doesn't get to her or discourage her.
@@tstarr8314The idea that family courts aren't fair to men and the idea that family courts aren't fair to children are mutually exclusive. Both can be true. Dunno why you'd try to downplay that in that way- just address it directly if you don't believe it.
@@tstarr8314family courts aren’t good for kids, men or women. They simply do not work. Abusive mothers alienate their children too and courts are more likely to keep the children with mum than dad.
It's crazy how no one is talking about Mareska Manipulation on Vexoner. This book has secrets that could change everything, but people seem blind to it. Wake up and see for yourself!
@@AaronFree03 really? I found it no problem, or go to the vexoner website and it's on the front page ($11.29) - then again, I'm using edge, and it came up fine with bing search
I have gained an incredible amount of understanding and knowledge around coercive control and stalking from Laura Richards and her podcast Crime Analyst. I believe we can all help save lives of women and children if we do our homework. Her podcast comes highly recommended.
Laura, you are my hero. This lady has fearlessly championed for tougher laws to protect domestic violence victims. I’m not sure how much it accomplished in the UK but I know Australia recently implemented a law that Target cohersive control and its effect on property division. That’s a win. She’s incredibly balanced and focused. I love listening to her podcast.
I don’t know if she will ever read this, but thank You Laura for everything you did and still do to make the world a safer place. You’re an amazing caring woman and I’ll keep you in my prayers so you’ll stay safe and brave. Wish I could just give you a hug, as I am a stalking survivor and your dedication touched my heart.
Imagine what "It's just domestic" or "it's just a night-worker" does against victims, especially children and women. So many perpetrators go undetected until dominantly male police consider a victim "valuable". In general, children and women are objectified as you can see in Laura's examples. It's time to change this.
Unfortunately a large percentage of the population is probably guilty of some sort of assault. I would imagine it's in the double digits. This makes differentiating the truly dangerous cases much more difficult. It's essentially a signal to noise problem.
I hate when women blindly parrot support for "red lite" work when it is such a slippery slope, they had laws after one of of the world wars that any women suspected of "immorality" could be scooped off the street by police and forcibly examined for std symptoms. Their MEN were bringing syphilis home from the war and infecting them but the WOMEN got targeted and blamed!! Think on that a bit, ladies!!
Talk ab brilliant. She subjects herself to some horrible stuff-and saves so many people. Amazing. She’s also incredibly easy to listen to. I was engaged thru the whole thing & felt like I actually learned something
Oh i love this lady!!!! 👀 She's excellent and I've always loved her voice. Proud she's British 🏆🇬🇧 EDIT: moved to tears 1/3 of way in, when she refers to these dangerous people as TERRORISTS. She's absolutely EXCELLENT.
That's an interesting perspective. It rings a bell because Adolf Hitler is a vampire who's still alive with a pseudonym. I'm his great-great-great granddaughter by a previous alter ego of his. He's been stalking me since at least age 7, and probably since birth. The surname Hitler literally means to affront, abduct, or abase. (His previous identity, my grandpa, once presided over the entire international African colonial system.) That's why it really clicked when you equated stalking with sabotaging someone's autonomy. However this is mitigated by the fact that I'm the weak, and he's the tyranny of evil men. But he's TRYIN', Ringo. He's tryin' REAL HARD to be the shepherd. Like Samuel L. Jackson in Pulp Fiction.
Dominic Pelicot is currently on trial because a police officer actually took it seriously when a customer reported an upskirt photographer in the grocery store. That will never fail to blow my mind. Here in the US, a court once ruled that a woman has no expectation of privacy under her skirt.
Laura is brilliant. So much expertise and experience, fantastic communicator and she’s literally saving lives. If you don’t listen to her podcast Crime Analyst then you definitely should.
It's always infuriated me that victims of stalking seem to be treated as if they are overreacting. The whole point of stalking is to intimidate and terrorize.
I had to look up words she used and at times had to rewind to keep up with the story, so much information packed in a short space. She has a fast working brilliant mind. I wonder if she is able to unwind as well in a healthy way, or atleast it might be difficult! Holymoly, what a person!
A truly remarkable woman.. 🌟 an expert, an educator and an advocate for victims. 💕 Crime Analyst fan here, I recommend Laura’s podcast. So much gained from listening to her podcast.
It is absolutely tragic that in so many cases and with so much prior evidence, the victims and families are often not taking seriously until a death has happened. And then verybody starts looking with a greater scrutiny once the damage is done. Think of all the children that are currently at risk in homes they shouldn't be in but are.
I am always very interested in every word that Laura Richards speaks. I find her so brilliant. Am amazing person, such a bright professional. Respect, respect, respect.
Laura is an amazing being, brilliant, compassionate and driven. She is so strong, i cant help but see her own pain, for it is from that, the greatest strength combined with compassion , is derived. Thank ypu Laura 💚
This is the quality of person the UK needs to get back on the right course. can you even imagine how good the uk would be with a leader as pragmatic as this?
Really enjoyed this. What a woman. She dresses like she is from the near future and talks with amazing confidence and clarity. Her points are so straightforward.
I had a guy stalk me for a while. He would just show up in my backyard when I was outside, and walk into the house in the summer when doors were open. I told him clearly to stop doing that, I had no interest in him. I called the Sheriff and a deputy came out and talked to me and then called the man's house. He lived with his mother. The guy wasn't there but the deputy told her she had better keep her son away from me. He did stay away after that. I was armed and ready to defend myself so I appreciated the deputy's direct approach very much. The deputy also told me that there are guys in town who can be hired to be even more persuasive if the stalking continued. I said I would keep that in mind.
A friend of mine was held at knife point at her home by neighbors who knew her. She didn’t know who they were at the time of the break in because the faces were covered. She moved in with her parents because she didn’t feel safe in her home anymore. I don’t think they went to jail or had anything happen to them. She is a pretty tough woman, was a probation officer for 17 years.
@ I’m not really sure the details, but my friend recognized the voice and mannerism. Apparently they were also dealing drugs and bothering her tenant after she moved out of there and rented it out.
This woman is fantastic. Her memory and recall of all those cases. And she apologised to the parents of the victim for not doing more. That is quite something
Laura you must have incredible parents. Who raised you to be the person you are. Strong brain intelligent and knowing right from wrong and changing things for the better for all of us. Thank you. I wish you good health and well being love from west Texas.
Every woman I know has had some sort of stalker, this is terrifying. Even with the laws as they are, my stalker wasn’t even investigated by the police, 8 years later he had graduated to raping young women - he was convicted but is still not in jail. He will murder someone one day. He has a wife and 2 daughters. I think about them all the time. Judges need to stop putting shoplifters and minor crimes in jail and start sending rapists and domestic abusers to jail. They almost ALWAYS get off.
That's scary. I have never met a woman who has had a stalker. I can only imagine the terror. I agree with you. It's beyond me how the police doesn't take these cases seriously. They almost always end up fatally.
@@snoozyq9576 My mom's stalker still comes out of hiding with letters and even going so far as to find ME on the internet, 30+ years after he started stalking her in college.
Laura Richards, I've heard you speak on so many podcasts. It was nice to see your face and that your fervour of voice and composure reflected all the things I heard you speak to about violence against women. Thank you. Thank You for shining a light into the dark places such that women and girls are stronger; and also for letting the good men know how they can help. I admire you and appreciate what you're doing for ALL women and girls.
Diagnosed BPD and ASPD here, I managed to learn empathy, compassion and love, because I wanted to, I knew something was wrong and worked to fix it, the key for me was kids in a similar position to me as a kid, this led to protectiveness and the rest followed in time Just thought I'd post this so people know there is hope for treatments for severe personality disorders which will one day save lives
You can indeed learn cognitive empathy. Problem is? Not all people want to. Also if you had a extremely traumatic childhood... be aware that CPTSD sometimes is confused by therapists/psychiatrists with BPD and ASPD. The fact that you want to heal and improve speaks more to severe trauma than an inborn lack of empathy (such as those with psychopathy which is a structural brain abnormality. ) Some of the things that appear "sociopathic" and " attachment avoidant' in your behavior are trauma responses versus the full blown personality disorders. I wish you well. Don't let the labels define you.
Aspd is something else than psychopathy is, which can be seen on brain scans. Psychopaths are literally unable to learn empathy, they’re usually born like that.
What an amazing intelligent women. Thank you for looking at the darkest parts of humanity to try and protect us.... I wish you all the good things in life ❤
It’s with thanks and much respect to Laura that my daughter studied at University of Manchester, graduated her BSC Hons Psychology degree, then went onto Manchester met uni to do her teaching certificate and is now teaching post 16 in college ….., ❤❤
1:28 i feel the same way and have personally dealt with stalker behavior from men. I had to move states and still recently the guy friend requested my son on fb! He will not take no for an answer. No one takes it serious enough. So many women die at the hands of a partner it’s an epidemic. For me personally a restraining order scared me because they notify the next day! A court date is set we both have to show! Then it’s put into place but then he definitely will be angry! And if he gets jailed for breaking the restraining order he’ll get out shortly and come after me. 😟🧐 There is not enough definite help for these matters. I ended up buying self defense. All ladies should in my opinion.

If they’re so clever & knowledgeable, why do OVER 97% of rapists reported each year get away with it?
^ In Britain, less than 3% of rapes reported each year are ever prosecuted successfully! 🤬

Teaching empathy to a psychopath is like explaining the colours to a person who's been blind since birth.

Great ro see Laura here. I've been listening to her podcast for years.
I really appreciate how she keeps fighting to bring attention to violence against women and how its overlooked time and time again.
Same! She is absolutely stellar. First discovered her on Real Crime Profile.
I’ve just come across her here for the first time and am enamored with her knowledge and passion. Would you mind letting me know what her podcast is called?
@@alyssaroxanne9084- sure! Her podcast is called Crime Analyst. She was also on Real Crime Profile with Jim Clemente for ages, and there's lots of back-episodes with her. She's the real deal.
@@alyssaroxanne9084there's a link in the show notes if you can't find it 🙂
thanks for the info
I can listen to her talk all day. Her voice is so soothing.
🙏🏼
Her podcast crime analysis is fantastic however the Peter Sutcliffe one is disturbing the breakdown is disgusting the fact they spoke to him 9 times and 1 arrest for dui then he was arrested for using a sex worker chances are they saved her life that night
Yes!!! It's her voice!
Love it ❤
Everything said here about stalking is really important. Someone as high profile as Rhianna, with mountains of money. Still had an incredibly difficult journey in court. Proving this guy was, in fact stalking. Even though it was widely known and documented, the guy was doing what he was doing. This happens to everyday people. And when you are put in this situation, it is very scary.
It is very important. Stalking is way more prevalent nowadays with social media and it should be prosecuted more harshly. Of course it wouldn't stop every stalker but at least we would get the clearly deranged people who do this out of society for extended periods of time. It seems that currently stalkers get a slap on the wrist or no punishment at all if they "only" mentally torment people and ruin their lives.
Everyday people often have no resources to combat stalker problems other than calling the local police. And way too often they do nothing about it if violence hasn't happened yet and with time these cases inevitably lead to the horrible outcomes we read on the news. I'm glad there's people out there pushing for change though!
The term murder in slow motion is so apt. Many people who are stalked report feeling like they're just waiting to be killed. It is insidious and psychologically disturbing 😣
Yeah my ex brother in law was a nightmare and wacked out on meth,police showed up and said even if my sisters scared to death we can’t do anything till he actually hits, kills etc somebody
Luckily in the last incident I mentioned he pushed me, not thinking anything of it, and the cop said oh if he pushed you first we can take him away.. so I said ok and after years of disaster he was finally out of her house and restraining order in place so he couldn’t come back..
Maybe women should consider being less khunty? Could help.
@@Skindoggiedog Ooh how edgy 🙄
It struck me hard that as a woman I know stalking is extremely dangerous behaviour, and that it didn't seem that obvious to the police... then again it makes sense that men don't have the same life experience and fears. At least there's a number of men that are willing to listen. We just need more.
No, we need more women like Laura and women who defend themselves instead of relying on men to change.
Like you said, they don't live like us, so they don't understand the fear and anxiety.
Extremely dangerous behaviors with murder threats ect. Following outing everywhere. That's not someone or a crime ring thousands of miles away. " smell the bacon" at 2am on harbor. Ihop they are close to there some of the members with an antenna and bluetooth. When I can smell the bacon across the street. They have exact patterns. Sometime at a point the perputrators in cases like mine need be tracked but brought down by force because are consistantly and continued crime spree and are commiting high felony crimes. The patterns are the same.
Men with partner or daughters do get to understand this. It's true, women live with this problem. Good people of all genders need to cooperate, but likely it's closer to heart to someone who really experiences this reality to speak up against it.

I pressed play without reading the details and recognized Laura Richards' voice instantly. Good for you for getting Laura Richards on your show. What an excellent person she is. I've learned so much from her podcasts.
Is it on youtube? Couldn't find it when looked. Quite like watching them
@@testingtesting5573 She's on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Podchaser
I would like to know more about her podcast. Where do you find them? I’ve never heard of her, but I would like to know more.
@@Heartwing37 Laura is the host of her own show Crime Analyst, which starts with an amazing deep dive on the Yorkshire murder series that got her into her role and was until recently co-host on Real Crime Profile.
Thank you so much 🙏🏼
I wish, one day, I can be as articulate and driven as this woman. 25 minutes of wholesome, inspiring material!
aw thank you
This is the best of this series so far! Absolutely fascinating, I was hanging on every word of Laura’s. Also huge props to the interviewer for asking such intelligent and searching questions. More please!
Thank you for your comment - we're really glad you enjoyed this episode.

This woman deserves a statue or a medal or a monument.. she's literally a hero.. just based on how many lives she and her team have personally saved.. the children who can grow up with a mother. ❤ She's my new hero ❤
awe thank you so much :0 Your comment filled my heart....also, I'm happy to have an award or a statue!
This lady is a hero in my eyes and deserves recognition for her services.
thank you! That would be lovely!
Wow. Imagine knowing you're directly responsible for changing things in a way that saved 33 lives per year.
I was at a stalking prevention conference many years ago where Laura Richards gave a speech. She was brilliant at putting the facts across in such a clear and consice way. I didn't realise how well known she was until I saw her on television, she's the best advocate for anti stalking and other serious crimes.
How do we prevent stalking?
14:01 Wow! “If you have to do all that… then clearly they are not safe… that’s what prisons are for” - this lady is my hero! Thanks for your service!
What a clever, articulate and interesting woman. I really enjoyed that.
The look on her face at the end was not arrogance but genuine happiness at what she was accomplishing.
I would say the look on her face at the end is a culmination of decades of seeing/dealing with the very worst parts of humanity, and barely able to hold back tears of grief, rage and sorrow for those she wasn't able to save.
Incredible, fascinating woman
ETA - It’s so nice to hear her state unequivocally that these types of offenders cannot be rehabilitated. It’s fine for mental health professionals to consider ideas about treatment. That’s their angle. But that should have no bearing whatsoever on decisions about subjecting the public to the risk
For those who don't know Corey's case: Corey was put on the treadmill by Greg for being "too fat" and he tortured that little boy with exercise i.a. until his little body gave out. 😢 The courts giving Greg access to his son after 100 reports by Corey's mum should sit in prison with him as well.
And women who are just like Corey's mum, who are trying their hardest to protect their children, are too often accused of parental alienation for reporting child abuse. I see so many men saying how unfair the family courts are to men, but the truth is they're not fair to children. They don't protect children from abusive fathers, even when there is more than enough evidence to press charges.
Laura gets abused online all the time for using the term 'male violence' by people who don't care about the victims, don't even really care about men and boys, but hate that a woman is calling it out for what it is.
@@tstarr8314I don't think people who are trying to deny reality because it doesn't align with their worldview or hurts their feelings are worth listening to and I truly hope it doesn't get to her or discourage her.
@@tstarr8314The idea that family courts aren't fair to men and the idea that family courts aren't fair to children are mutually exclusive. Both can be true.
Dunno why you'd try to downplay that in that way- just address it directly if you don't believe it.
Agree
@@tstarr8314family courts aren’t good for kids, men or women. They simply do not work. Abusive mothers alienate their children too and courts are more likely to keep the children with mum than dad.
If I had the honour of meeting this incredible person, I would probably be unable to say anything other than 'thank you' over and over.
It's crazy how no one is talking about Mareska Manipulation on Vexoner. This book has secrets that could change everything, but people seem blind to it. Wake up and see for yourself!

Laura is an absolute pioneer for women and children. She stands up above the rest. Always pushing. 🙏🙌 Thank you
I have gained an incredible amount of understanding and knowledge around coercive control and stalking from Laura Richards and her podcast Crime Analyst. I believe we can all help save lives of women and children if we do our homework. Her podcast comes highly recommended.
And men.
Thank you for listening Sue & commenting here. Your support means a lot 🙏🏼
@@eddiebingbong7977 lol
@@eddiebingbong7977 Yes. Men too. just remember the stats though
Laura, you are my hero. This lady has fearlessly championed for tougher laws to protect domestic violence victims. I’m not sure how much it accomplished in the UK but I know Australia recently implemented a law that Target cohersive control and its effect on property division. That’s a win.
She’s incredibly balanced and focused. I love listening to her podcast.
Thank you Laura, Finally someone intelligent working to stop this horror.
🙏🏼
she has such kind eyes. I'm so glad there's women like her out there.
I don’t know if she will ever read this, but thank You Laura for everything you did and still do to make the world a safer place. You’re an amazing caring woman and I’ll keep you in my prayers so you’ll stay safe and brave. Wish I could just give you a hug, as I am a stalking survivor and your dedication touched my heart.
It’s people like Laura Richards that help to make the world a safer place for women and children
She's so right! It's remarkable how the system isn't willing to face how dangerous these people are.
Imagine what "It's just domestic" or "it's just a night-worker" does against victims, especially children and women. So many perpetrators go undetected until dominantly male police consider a victim "valuable". In general, children and women are objectified as you can see in Laura's examples. It's time to change this.
That was wild to hear. Those types of police officers have no business being police officers.
Unfortunately a large percentage of the population is probably guilty of some sort of assault. I would imagine it's in the double digits. This makes differentiating the truly dangerous cases much more difficult. It's essentially a signal to noise problem.
I hate when women blindly parrot support for "red lite" work when it is such a slippery slope, they had laws after one of of the world wars that any women suspected of "immorality" could be scooped off the street by police and forcibly examined for std symptoms. Their MEN were bringing syphilis home from the war and infecting them but the WOMEN got targeted and blamed!! Think on that a bit, ladies!!
Talk ab brilliant. She subjects herself to some horrible stuff-and saves so many people. Amazing. She’s also incredibly easy to listen to. I was engaged thru the whole thing & felt like I actually learned something
That’s brilliant to hear. Thank you 🙏🏼
Oh i love this lady!!!! 👀
She's excellent and I've always loved her voice.
Proud she's British 🏆🇬🇧
EDIT: moved to tears 1/3 of way in, when she refers to these dangerous people as TERRORISTS. She's absolutely EXCELLENT.
What an incredible woman.
Laura Richards is a legend. Incredible.
Thank you for what you do.
Stalking is a complete disregard for another persons rights and autonomy. Glad the laws have been updated to reflect the seriousness
That's an interesting perspective. It rings a bell because Adolf Hitler is a vampire who's still alive with a pseudonym. I'm his great-great-great granddaughter by a previous alter ego of his. He's been stalking me since at least age 7, and probably since birth. The surname Hitler literally means to affront, abduct, or abase. (His previous identity, my grandpa, once presided over the entire international African colonial system.) That's why it really clicked when you equated stalking with sabotaging someone's autonomy.
However this is mitigated by the fact that I'm the weak, and he's the tyranny of evil men. But he's TRYIN', Ringo. He's tryin' REAL HARD to be the shepherd. Like Samuel L. Jackson in Pulp Fiction.
An astonishing person! I wish more people had the ability to see this behaviour so clearly.
Dominic Pelicot is currently on trial because a police officer actually took it seriously when a customer reported an upskirt photographer in the grocery store. That will never fail to blow my mind. Here in the US, a court once ruled that a woman has no expectation of privacy under her skirt.
Yes I’ve been following the Pelican trial too! It’s so sad - what her husband did to her and these men participated in. They are all rapists.
Laura has a special kind of strenght to be able to turn a light in so much darkness, which she sees every day.
Indeed!
Laura is brilliant. So much expertise and experience, fantastic communicator and she’s literally saving lives. If you don’t listen to her podcast Crime Analyst then you definitely should.
I can't wait to, now I've watched this.
What a find!!
It's always infuriated me that victims of stalking seem to be treated as if they are overreacting. The whole point of stalking is to intimidate and terrorize.
Laura is amazing she really digs in on cases we could do with a lot more like Laura , well done once again 👏👏
I had to look up words she used and at times had to rewind to keep up with the story, so much information packed in a short space. She has a fast working brilliant mind. I wonder if she is able to unwind as well in a healthy way, or atleast it might be difficult! Holymoly, what a person!
What a wonderful person she is! Absolutely brilliant, dedicated to make the world a better, safer place. A true hero!
Genuinely impressive. I don't know how she does this and can talk about it with such poise.
A truly remarkable woman.. 🌟
an expert, an educator and an advocate for victims. 💕
Crime Analyst fan here, I recommend Laura’s podcast.
So much gained from listening to her podcast.
I live in Thailand and I didn't even know about this case.. I am so thankful that you are bringing light to all these cases in ASEAN.
Hello from the UK
What an absolute force of nature she is.
Mom accuses dad of abusing son 100 times and the son remained in his dad’s custody? wtf man the system is a joke sometimes.
It is absolutely tragic that in so many cases and with so much prior evidence, the victims and families are often not taking seriously until a death has happened. And then verybody starts looking with a greater scrutiny once the damage is done. Think of all the children that are currently at risk in homes they shouldn't be in but are.
Thank you for wanting justice for women & children
I am always very interested in every word that Laura Richards speaks. I find her so brilliant. Am amazing person, such a bright professional. Respect, respect, respect.
She is my hero; my “mentor” and teacher in this field; and just the Coolest person in these times..
I commend this remarkable woman for doing the hard purpose this life presented to her. Thank you❤

Laura is an amazing being, brilliant, compassionate and driven. She is so strong, i cant help but see her own pain, for it is from that, the greatest strength combined with compassion , is derived. Thank ypu Laura 💚
Laura is amazing
This is the quality of person the UK needs to get back on the right course. can you even imagine how good the uk would be with a leader as pragmatic as this?
Really enjoyed this. What a woman. She dresses like she is from the near future and talks with amazing confidence and clarity. Her points are so straightforward.
I’m so glad she is doing the work she is doing and I hope that more police forces listen to her.
I had a guy stalk me for a while. He would just show up in my backyard when I was outside, and walk into the house in the summer when doors were open. I told him clearly to stop doing that, I had no interest in him. I called the Sheriff and a deputy came out and talked to me and then called the man's house. He lived with his mother. The guy wasn't there but the deputy told her she had better keep her son away from me. He did stay away after that. I was armed and ready to defend myself so I appreciated the deputy's direct approach very much. The deputy also told me that there are guys in town who can be hired to be even more persuasive if the stalking continued. I said I would keep that in mind.
A friend of mine was held at knife point at her home by neighbors who knew her. She didn’t know who they were at the time of the break in because the faces were covered. She moved in with her parents because she didn’t feel safe in her home anymore. I don’t think they went to jail or had anything happen to them. She is a pretty tough woman, was a probation officer for 17 years.
The cop suggestive street justice lol I mean, whatever works. I hope you never have need of their services though.
@@artbygilikhow’d they find out it was the neighbors? Do you know why they were never convicted?
@ I’m not really sure the details, but my friend recognized the voice and mannerism. Apparently they were also dealing drugs and bothering her tenant after she moved out of there and rented it out.
Thank you, Laura Richards
I’m reading Dr. Ann Burgess’s book; I like hearing her recognized by another female professional in the field. We stand on the shoulders of giants ❤
This woman is fantastic. Her memory and recall of all those cases. And she apologised to the parents of the victim for not doing more. That is quite something
I love this woman, I really recommend her podcast
The best podcast.
I’m a big fan of Laura we don’t see enough of her these days. She is an amazing lady. ❤

Laura Richards is absolutely amazing!

Every woman I know has had some sort of stalker, this is terrifying. Even with the laws as they are, my stalker wasn’t even investigated by the police, 8 years later he had graduated to raping young women - he was convicted but is still not in jail. He will murder someone one day. He has a wife and 2 daughters. I think about them all the time. Judges need to stop putting shoplifters and minor crimes in jail and start sending rapists and domestic abusers to jail. They almost ALWAYS get off.
That's scary. I have never met a woman who has had a stalker. I can only imagine the terror. I agree with you. It's beyond me how the police doesn't take these cases seriously. They almost always end up fatally.
Stalking is not taken seriously unfortunately. Many don’t even go reported for that reason.
Weird. I've never had one that I know of. Nor have any of the other women I've spoken with about this. Y'all are unlucky I think
@ it’s not that uncommon. Many women get harassed and stalked 😔
@@snoozyq9576 My mom's stalker still comes out of hiding with letters and even going so far as to find ME on the internet, 30+ years after he started stalking her in college.
16:04 facts! they can't be rehabilitated and it's an insult to even suggest it
This woman is amazing. I appreciate her deeply and I wish the world for her
Stalking needs to be taken seriously. It is terrifying.
Murder is slow motion... That gave me chills
It really is.
Laura Richards, I've heard you speak on so many podcasts. It was nice to see your face and that your fervour of voice and composure reflected all the things I heard you speak to about violence against women. Thank you.
Thank You for shining a light into the dark places such that women and girls are stronger; and also for letting the good men know how they can help.
I admire you and appreciate what you're doing for ALL women and girls.
Diagnosed BPD and ASPD here, I managed to learn empathy, compassion and love, because I wanted to, I knew something was wrong and worked to fix it, the key for me was kids in a similar position to me as a kid, this led to protectiveness and the rest followed in time
Just thought I'd post this so people know there is hope for treatments for severe personality disorders which will one day save lives
You can indeed learn cognitive empathy. Problem is? Not all people want to. Also if you had a extremely traumatic childhood... be aware that CPTSD sometimes is confused by therapists/psychiatrists with BPD and ASPD. The fact that you want to heal and improve speaks more to severe trauma than an inborn lack of empathy (such as those with psychopathy which is a structural brain abnormality. ) Some of the things that appear "sociopathic" and " attachment avoidant' in your behavior are trauma responses versus the full blown personality disorders. I wish you well. Don't let the labels define you.
I call bullshit, stop spreading fake and false information.
Aspd is something else than psychopathy is, which can be seen on brain scans. Psychopaths are literally unable to learn empathy, they’re usually born like that.
What an amazing intelligent women. Thank you for looking at the darkest parts of humanity to try and protect us.... I wish you all the good things in life ❤
thank you
This lady is so articulate and so knowledgeable
It’s with thanks and much respect to Laura that my daughter studied at University of Manchester, graduated her BSC Hons Psychology degree, then went onto Manchester met uni to do her teaching certificate and is now teaching post 16 in college ….., ❤❤
Love Laura Richards-she stands up for women and girls like no one else.
Brilliant brilliant person, what a brain, communicator and how utterly insightful she is, thanks Laura
Her owning the fact that mistakes had been made directly to the Mother was very powerful to me.
She's a good lady.
1:28 i feel the same way and have personally dealt with stalker behavior from men. I had to move states and still recently the guy friend requested my son on fb! He will not take no for an answer. No one takes it serious enough. So many women die at the hands of a partner it’s an epidemic. For me personally a restraining order scared me because they notify the next day! A court date is set we both have to show! Then it’s put into place but then he definitely will be angry! And if he gets jailed for breaking the restraining order he’ll get out shortly and come after me. 😟🧐 There is not enough definite help for these matters. I ended up buying self defense. All ladies should in my opinion.
I think she is fantastic. She’s an excellent role model and a good person.
Wow that was an amazing episode and what an inspiring human being. Thank goodness there are people in the world like Laura.
Really incredible to get Laura on this platform and bring this awareness to perhaps those who may not have it on their radar.
She is incredible ❤
