Laura has a complete understanding of Domestic Violence and her advocacy for Police training and education programs needs to be applied.
Laura puts an incredible amount of effort, time and attention into these episodes. She is one of the leading experts in DV and coercive control (to be honest I’m not sure that term was used much before Laura!). I deeply admire her important and invaluable work. Thank you Laura!
Laura helps women. If you listen to this podcast you will learn so much about coercive control, DV , and how profilers look at everything. Invaluable information here!
So detailed and so insightful
There's a LOT of information to take in here...but it's IMPERATIVE that police and our legal system understand what women are facing. Especially with the current leadership in the US and our dismal Supreme Court, protecting women & children is everyone's business. I pray for this message to get out to the right people. Keep it going! Inspiring podcaster!
