There were no murderers or rapists among the convicts initially shipped to Australia. They were a mix of people from all walks of life. Many were simply people whose source of employment had dried up and who were forced to steal bread and basic necessities. Some were petty thieves and burglars, known to the police. Some were people accused of fraud. Some were even accused of political crimes. Later, more violent criminals were sent to some of the colonies in Australia.
