As a child, Allan didn’t really belong. By about nine years of age, strong feelings of bitterness and anger were beginning to show, and by twelve he had already determined that one day he would kill someone. All through Allan’s story there is a recurring theme of faith. Allan grew up in a Christian family and despite his years of waywardness, Allan attributes the change in his life and his story of redemption to God having bigger plans for him.
"I Am Not My Crime" features courageous people telling you the story about the crimes they have committed and their journey to redemption. As you make your way through this first season you will notice a couple of common themes: the importance of other people, opportunities for employment, and being welcomed back into society are what really matter for supporting change and a life lived differently. "I Am Not My Crime" has been produced to help you understand that for many people it is their circumstances that led them down the path to offending behaviour and that what somebody has done in the past is not an indication of who they are today.
Presented by University of Southern Queensland Criminologist Dr Suzanne Reich, each episode concludes with the latest research about why people commit the crime or crimes that have been discussed.
