“There is an undeniable fascination that draws people to the criminal mind. It is difficult to understand the motivation behind the monstrous acts perpetrated by the infamous ‘Granny Killer’ or behind the horrifying growth in the most disturbing of all crimes – violence against children.  It is easy, however, to remember the fear that gripped a nation at the time of the Truro murders.  Yet not all criminals are so vilified.  Australians have a tendency to hold a grudging respect for certain types of criminals.  They are generally unaware, however, of the extent of ‘professional crime’ in this country.”
