In this episode, Laura is joined by Clare Laxton, creator and host of Killer in the Family podcast. Together, they take a deep dive into profiling family annihilators, coercive control, stalking, highlighting the risk factors to look out for, exploring how these crimes are interconnected, and often preceded by clear warning signs that are too frequently missed, and challenge false narratives and defenses killers concoct. Laura and Clare reflect on the 10-year anniversary of their work together campaigning for coercive control law reform in England and Wales - landmark change that has saved countless lives and reshaped the criminal justice response to domestic abuse and also discuss the how and why the change was needed. This powerful conversation explores both the professional and personal drive behind their advocacy, the systemic challenges that remain, and what must still be done to protect women and children from dangerous offenders hiding in plain sight #CrimeAnalyst #HighRisk #Entitlement #CoerciveControl #FamilyAnnihilator #KillerInTheFamily #MaleViolence #DomesticAbuse #DomesticHomicide #WomenMatter #Expert #Analysis #Behaviour #TrueCrime #Podcast Clips https://dai.ly/x5xtlsw Sources Crime Analyst Podcast Killer in the Family Podcast on Spotify Killer In The Family | Podcast on Spotify More from Clare @KillerInTheFamilyPod Instagram Killer in the Family Podcast website ART19 Killer in the Family Podcast on Spotify Killer In The Family | Podcast on Spotify Killer in the Family Podcast on Apple Killer In The Family - Podcast - Apple Podcasts Thank You to Crime Analyst Sponsors Who Make the Show Possible.
