“A psychopathic criminal misfit who left a trail of destruction and misery in his wake.” (Moor, 2013) Edward “Ned” Kelly (1854 - 1880) was a convicted murderer, horse and cattle thief and bank robber as well as the leader of an infamous group of Australian outlaw bushrangers named the ‘Kelly Gang’. He committed a large number of major crimes, terrorised the towns of Victoria by invoking fear and distress in citizens’ hearts and endangered hundreds of civilians’ lives in his many ruthless exploits. Ned Kelly was a villain; an enemy of society who condemned the police for all his wrongdoings.
The vast array of transgressions committed by Kelly clearly displays his strong sense of criminality. From 1870 to 1874, Kelly was arrested for numerous charges including assault, theft and robbery and received a total of six and a half years’ imprisonment. “In 1870, Kelly was convicted of summary offences and imprisoned for six months. Soon after release he was sentenced to three years' imprisonment for receiving a mare knowing it to have been stolen.” (Barry, 1974) In 1877, he had stolen hundreds of stock by his own admission, claiming in the Jerilderie Letter that this was caused by police persecution and that it was necessary to support his poverty-stricken family. However, these crimes remain inexcusable. “No one cares that Kelly may have had a tough life. Almost every single person in the 19th century colony of Victoria had a tough life - and they didn't all become murdering armed
Ned Kelly was an Australian bushranger who was born in 1854 in the bush north of Melbourne. He is famous for doing both bad and good things. We remember him today for the bad choices he made because of the bad things in this life. Throughout his life bad things happened to him and this is why he is a victim. Firstly, the police treated him unfairly, secondly, people were racist against him because he was Irish and lastly, his punishment was too harsh.
Ned Kelly (2003), directed by Gregor Jordan and starring Heath Ledger (Ned Kelly) and Orlando Bloom, is the film interpretation of the legendary story of the Kelly gang. As this is a film, not a documentary, it is only moderately historically accurate. The three key events in this story in which Jordan has attempted to maintain the truth to a reasonable extent are the incident with Constable Fitzpatrick, the shooting of Aaron Sherritt and the Glenrowan shootout. However, there is also one major aspect of the film where Jordan has not endeavoured to uphold historical accuracy, and that is Ned Kelly’s love life. As the very purpose of a feature film is to entertain an audience, there is only a limited potential to which
Villain, victim and hero. Ned Kelly, “with all that he was, and for all that he did, belongs to the true Australia – not the Australia of the shams and the money-jugglers, but the Australia that sweats and suffers and fights…” (IronOutlaw, Clive Turnbull’s View On The Kelly Outbreak, 2016). Ned Kelly (1854-1880) was a notorious Australian outlaw. He murdered three policemen, robbed two banks and committed numerous other crimes. Regardless of his criminality, people claim Ned “Australia’s equivalent of Robin Hood.” (UpFromAustralia, 2016). Ned Kelly was a hero, a quintessential Australian battler. He helped the poor and fought against inequality.
Edward Ned Kelly was Australia’s most famous bushranger; regarded by many as a hero who fought “for the rights of the battler.” Whether Ned Kelly was a hero, however, has been debated throughout Australia’s history. Evidence shows that Ned was a murderous villain who terrorised towns and robbed wealthy pastoralists; a man who broke the law and committed an array of crimes that were both evil and immoral. Ned Kelly was a villain; an outlaw and thief who is wrongly immortalised as an Australian hero.

Is Ned Kelly, a hero? A, villain? Or is he a victim? Many people have a different opinion on this topic. There is no doubt that Ned Kelly was a hero and a victim because he was one of the Australian greatest bushranger, who not only outsmarted the police but also stood up for his family’s rights.

Criminology does not always limit itself to the “whodunit”. In many cases, criminologists analyze the motives of individual criminals and often ascertain (identify) the level of the “thrill factor” involved with a crime. Offenders are frequently inspired by the stimulation of danger and welcome the exhilarating challenges they find in outwitting others. Michael Crichton’s The Great Train Robbery illustrates Edward Pierce’s ability to employ his intellect, manipulative nature, and personal wealth to satiate(indulge in, fill) his unquenchable thirst to mastermind the greatest theft of the Victorian era.
