Alicia Horton teaches courses in sociology and criminology in British Columbia, Canada. Her primary research and activist interests include prison culture, prison violence, prison education, research ethics, bodies and body as a resource. Her areas of theoretical expertise and interest include masculinities, social constructionism and social problems work. Dr Horton’s interest in questions of meaning, process and lived experience informs her reflexive, qualitative methodological practice.

Michael Young is a professor of justice studies at the School of Humanitarian Studies at Royal Roads University in Victoria, Canada. His research interests range from criminology and criminal justice to issues in social justice related to addictions, mental health, and homelessness. Dr Young emphasizes phenomenological approaches in research and believes that the solution to vexatious social problems can be better achieved through applied research.

He utilizes both quantitative and qualitative research methods in his research.
