👉 A bushranger is someone who commits a crime of violence, such as murder or robbery, committed in the course of an act that is otherwise unlawful. This can include any form of violence, but it is most commonly associated with crimes against law enforcement officers and other individuals who are perceived to pose a threat to public safety. While bushrangers are often referred to as "robbers," their actions are generally considered more violent and serious than those committed by ordinary citizens.
