Celeste; Schuknecht, Jason E., ISBN 081573154X, ISBN-13 9780815731542, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US Gimpel and Lay (both U. of Maryland, College Park) combine efforts with senior research analyst, Schuknecht, in this study of the impact of local political and social circumstances on the political socialization of contemporary young Americans. From recent surveys of high school students from a variety of socio-economic backgrounds in the greater Baltimore-Washington metro area, the authors find that the specifics of the local environment strongly correlate with attitudes toward politics and civic participation. The authors make recommendations for improving the formal political education of youth, and suggest other strategies to promote civic engagement of those most at risk of becoming nonparticipants.
