City of Belmont - Ruth Faulkner Public Library

As a cop, I used to sit on one side of the interview room table facing murderers, child abductors and rapists. Now I'm facing in the other direction: disgraced, forced out of the police and found to be a criminal. I want to show you what the world looks like from here. Talking to crooks, cops, forensic psychologists and scientists, as well as the victims, I've gone back to some of Australia's worst acts of evil, including unsolved murders that never made the front pages as well as infamous killings carried out by Ivan Milat and the Granny Killer, the murder of Anita Cobby, the Hoddle Street massacre, Port Arthur, the Parramatta girls' home and the disappearance of preschooler William Tyrrell. What I've found has made me question everything, including where evil comes from, what drives us to carry out criminal acts and how we can prevent them.The experience has changed me - and the answers are surprising. I used to be on the side of the angels. Now I'm learning badness is done by both sides.
