Hello and welcome to Real Crime Profile. This is Jim Clemente, retired FBI profiler, former New York City prosecutor and writer producer on CBS's Criminal Minds and with me today in the studio is Laura Richards, former New Scotland Yard Criminal Behavioral Analyst and founder of Paladin National Stalking Advocacy Service.

As we have a very special guest. Very special guest who's joining us from Leicester Shares.

2:26.0

Hi there, Laura. Yes, I'm Clive Ruggles. I'm a professor from Leicester University in England. But my reason for being here today is because I'm the dad of Alice Ruggles and that's what this is all about.

2:38.0

It is. This is a really important podcast and we actually decided to talk with Clive to mark National Stalking Awareness Week which begins in the UK on April the 6th.

2:51.0

3:48.0

We live in a little village which doesn't have numbers on the house. It just has names.

3:53.0

So people quite often get them confused. So I said you sure you've got the right house. Yes, yes, that's right. Right house name and everything.

3:59.0

I would describe the house. Yes, we do. I said you must have delivered from the wrong house. Sorry. Can you please go away and check? So off she goes off the line and 20 minutes later, all that time.

4:10.0
