About

My name’s Alison Young, and I work in the School of Social and Political Sciences at the University of Melbourne, Australia. I research and teach about issues at the intersection of law, crime and culture. For some time now, that has included film, photography, art in the street and art in galleries. I’m simultaneously finishing a book on the spectatorship of violence in cinema, and writing another book which is on street art in cities such as Melbourne, New York, London, Amsterdam, Sao Paulo, Paris and Berlin.
