Externality is when one agent’s actions directly affect another agent at the same time not altering the price of the good or service. Two types of externalities are known, negative and positive externality. Negative externality is the case when one agent’s actions cause the second agent to lose welfare, and the second agent is not compensated for that. The opposite takes place with positive externalities. When one agent’s actions cause the second agent’s welfare to increase, and if he/she is not compensated for that, then it is known to be a positive externality.

Gangs have continued to grow and spread in many American cities and counties. This occurrence has been paralleled by the growth of gangs in American prisons. Researchers reported that the boundaries between prison gangs and the community have become harder to identify because the gangs have become more sophisticated, and are a threat not only to the institutional security, but to the public safety, as well. According to a survey conducted by the National Gang Crime Research Center, in 1999, members of gangs in prisons and jails increased from 9.4%, in 1991, to 24.7%, in 1999. Other studies reported a smaller proportion ...
