Australian society was once made up of very clear haves and have nots. The criminal class was at the bottom of the pile; and those with the least opportunities and the most vulnerable were often those with dark skin. The Colour of Crime presents a dozen biographies of some of the most thought provoking crimes in Australian history and includes new research into Australia's slave trade of the 1830s, the segregation in several states that forbade aboriginal people to marry white people, incidents of lynchings and intertribal murder by magic amongst the indigenous people of Australia. As a proud Dja Dja Wurrung man, Roy Maloy's fascination with his family history has been a driving force in his research throughout his career. As a prolific true crime author, his focus has always included the stories of the minorities who are often overlooked, and The Colour of Crime is no exception.
