Michael Young is a professor of justice studies at the School of Humanitarian Studies at Royal Roads University in Victoria, Canada.

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.
