Coercive Control: The Danger Our System Misses (GIRLWAKEUP Ep10 w/ Criminologist Laura Richards)
Violence against women is often described as unpredictable. But according to one of the world’s leading criminologists, that couldn’t be further from the truth. In this episode of Girl, Wake Up!, Amy speaks with Laura Richards, a global expert on coercive control, stalking and risk assessment. Richards has spent decades studying the patterns behind men’s violence and the warning signs that are too often dismissed by police, courts and other institutions. In this episode: What coercive control really is–and why it’s often misunderstood • Why violence against women is predictable, not random • The warning signs professionals frequently miss or minimize • Why separation and divorce can increase danger for women • How charm and social status can obscure dangerous behavior • Why institutions often label women “low risk” before tragedy Where to find Laura Richards: YouTube @crimeanalyst Instagram @crimeanalyst @laurarichards999 Twitter @thecrimeanalyst @laurarichards99 TikTok @crimeanalystpod Websites www.crime-analyst.com https://www.thelaurarichards.com, https://www.dashriskchecklist.com/ --- Book a free Coaching Consultation with Amy Polacko here.
