Review
"This hefty tome is a highly significant compilation of theory and research on youth civic engagement. Under the capable editorship of three extraordinary scholars [in applied developmental psychology], the volume is rich, expansive and interesting. It will be a treasure for new and experienced researchers alike."
—Walter C. Parker and Tina Y. Gourd (University of Washington), from a review in the periodical Citizenship Teaching and Learning, vol 6(3), p 337–8.

"Engaged citizens are the sine qua non of responsible and responsive democracies, yet research on the development of citizenship has often occurred in disciplinary, geographic and methodological silos, only periodically capturing wider scholarly and public attention. Sherrod, Torney–Purta and Flanagan, three of the leading scholars in this field, have taken a major step in remedying this state of affairs, demonstrating the rich and varied research that has been occurring below the radar screen, bringing together perspectives from across disciplines and the globe, and taking head on the thorny methodological and epistemological issues regarding how we know what we know about this complex issue. The Handbook of Research on Civic Engagement in Youth is an important and valuable resource for anyone interested in issues of citizenship, how it develops, and how we study it."
—Michael X. Delli Carpini, Dean, Annenberg School for Communication, University of Pennsylvania
Product Description
Engaging youth in civic life has become a central concern to a broad array of researchers in a variety of academic fields as well to policy makers and practitioners globally. This book is both international and multidisciplinary, consisting of three sections that respectively cover conceptual issues, developmental and educational topics, and methodological and measurement issues. Broad in its coverage of topics, this book supports scholars, philanthropists, business leaders, government officials, teachers, parents, and community practitioners in their drive to engage more young people in community and civic actions.
