Paul Wilson was once one of Australia's most respected criminologists; a professor, author of 50 books, and even a recipient of the Order of Australia.

In this episode of Exhuming the Truth, we uncover how a man who studied crime became a criminal himself, and we ask what his downfall reveals about power, trust and accountability.
