the University at Albany in 1979 and has been a member of the Temple

evaluations of juvenile delinquency programs, and the development of
management information systems. From 1989 to 1995 Phil also directed the
Juvenile Corrections Leadership Forum, the platform for launching the
Council of Juvenile Correctional Administrators. Beginning in 1992, he
and Peter Jones designed and have now implemented a permanent
information system, ProDES, that provides a continuous flow of
outcome information on all programs that receive youths from
Philadelphia’s Family Court. In 1999, ProDES was chosen as a
finalist from a field of 1609 innovations in the prestigious Innovations
in American Government competition, sponsored by Harvard University and
the Ford Foundation. Phil also directs a project aimed at developing a
method for matching delinquent youths to programs that will be used by
juvenile courts. He has contributed a book on policy and program
planning and more than seventy-five book chapters, journal articles and
research reports on juvenile justice, program implementation and
information systems. He has also provided consultation and technical
