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.
