Youth & Society
Youth & Society is a multidisciplinary peer-reviewed journal that focuses on issues related to the 10–24-year-old population. We are interested in both U.S. and global youth populations, with all articles centering youth perspectives and voices. We do not publish studies that use university student samples. Relevant topics include a wide array of issues ranging from individual level and structural factors to policy concerns pertinent to youth. We highlight scholarship that discusses social, contextual, and political factors that influence both healthy and harmful youth development. We are open to a range of both quantitative and qualitative methodologies. We also serve as a platform for research that critically examines the correlates, inequities, disparities, consequences, interventions, and policies for underserved and underrepresented youth.
The journal includes studies from diverse disciplines including but not limited to:
- Psychology
- Public Health
- Sociology
- Education
- Social Work
- Criminology
- Anthropology
- Political Science
Youth & Society is published 8 times a year. We provide researchers, educators, mental health professionals, and policy makers with the latest research and scholarship in this dynamic field. The journal is a valuable resource that examines critical contemporary issues and presents both theoretical and applied information that is vital to those studying and working with youth. We also publish theme issues and sections devoted to special topics that are particularly germane for the field. We seek to contribute to a future in which youth are not just subjects of research, but central actors in the pursuit of a more just and inclusive world guided by evidence-based research.
Youth & Society has provided educators, counselors, researchers, and policy makers with the latest research and scholarship in this dynamic field for over forty years, This valuable resource examines critical contemporary issues and provides useful practical information for studying and working with 10-24 year olds. The journal, published 8 times per year, features peer-reviewed empirical and review articles written by distinguished scholars and practitioners from a variety of disciplines and fields, including: sociology, psychology, public health, social work, education, criminology, anthropology, human services, and political science.
