The Night Writer

 
Stefano Bloch, cultural geographer and former prolific graffiti writer, studies the evolution of graffiti as well as neighborhood change, criminality, policing, prisons, and identity. This article in Psychology Today credits Bloch's research with "shedding light on a historically maligned subculture and helps outsiders understand the deeply human motivations that compel graffiti artists, most of them young and marginalized, to pick up their paint and head out into the night."
