Privilege is the special right or advantage entitled to only a particular group of people.
Such advantage is the benefit or right of the person to whom it is entitled as a matter of
immunity. According to Barack, Leighton and Flavin 2010, analysis of the close relationship
between the organizational and societal features relating to the community relations can be
explained as the privilege and its impact on the class, race and gender of the people and
ultimately the psychology driven motive of such people behind the commission of any crime.
Such relations of the community distinguish revenge killings and rampage shootings. The
administration of criminal justice is basically found by the main understandings of inequality,
power and privilege in the United States.
According to Glaze and Bonczar 2007, it can be stated that more than one million women
are incarcerated in prison due to some charges of criminal justice supervision. Sentencing Project
2007 has explained that the number of women being incarcerated has drastically enhanced at
approximately the rate of double ratios since the year of 1985 (California Department of
Corrections and Rehabilitations 2010, p 44). The increase in women incarceration can be
indicated by the change in the character and nature of the women feeling oppressed or being
dominated at the hands of the society or the social norms. Violent offenses indicate that the
women have revolted against the tough policies including that of the drug offenses and drug
convictions (Bureau of Justice Statistics 2010).
According to Newman et al., 2004, majority of the homicides, violent deaths and other
adolescent and preadolescent homicides contribute to the number of incarcerated men by the
criminal justice system. However, it has also been noted that these deaths were not particularly
aimed at any particular sex or group of people. It just took its course as per the unfolding of the
events.
