Abstract

In February 2001, the City of Eugene and community members throughout the Bethel neighborhood kicked off the Bethel Weed and Seed Initiative. Weed and Seed is a strategy that aims to prevent, control, and reduce violent crime, drug abuse and gang activity in a targeted high-crime area. The strategy combines four basic components: (1) law enforcement; (2) community policing; (3) prevention/intervention/treatment; and (4) neighborhood restoration. The program is managed by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs, Executive Office for Weed and Seed.
