A report co-authored by Adam Serlin on the state of girls’ justice in Philadelphia was featured in the April 4 edition of The Philadelphia Inquirer in an article titled “Philly’s juvenile-justice system leaves girls out of programs that could help them, new report says.” The report offers more than 30 recommendations on how to reform Philadelphia’s juvenile justice system, which routinely leaves girls out of programs designed to divert youth from detention facilities. 

Adam was quoted in the article: “The organizing principle of our work … is to display how a targeted redesign of the juvenile justice system for girls may offer leaders a unique chance … to craft a fairer system for all youth,” he said. A former youth justice  fellow with the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office, Adam is Founder and Principal of Independent Variable, a consulting firm that uses technology and design principles to help nonprofit and public sector entities reimagine more equitable and effective service delivery models.
