Ned Kelly was a bushranger, an outlaw, and often such criminals were supported by friends and family. Ned Kelly had several run-ins with the law, and his family often felt that they were persecuted by the police. This was a common problem among Irish immigrants and ex-convicts. The Kelly gang was formed in response to the bad treatment the Kellys felt they received, and they felt they had nothing to lose by turning to crime.
