This is a "Shortcut" episode. It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed.

 

Dr. Peter Coleman's book "Australia's Most Bizarre Crimes" is actually a pretty compassionate look at the mistakes made by people who've decided to attempt to commit a crime. People who really should have thought better of it.

 

In many cases, the people featured in this book just weren't cut out for the criminal life.

 

Dr. Peter Coleman joins us on Australian True Crime to share some highlights from his extensive research into Australia's most bizarre crimes.
