Violent Crime, Drug Abuse and Gang Activity Prevention, Control and Reduction
Weed and Seed is foremost a strategy – rather than a grant program – that aims to prevent, control, and reduce violent crime, drug abuse, and gang activity in designated high crime neighborhoods across the country.
The strategy involves a two-pronged approach:
- law enforcement agencies and prosecutors cooperate in "weeding out" violent criminals and drug abusers and
- public agencies and community-based private organizations collaborate to "seed" much-needed human services, including prevention, intervention, treatment, and neighborhood restoration programs.
The Weed and Seed strategy is a multilevel strategic plan that includes four basic components:
- law enforcement;
- community policing;
- prevention, intervention, and treatment; and
- neighborhood restoration.
- collaboration,
- coordination,
- community participation, and
- leveraging of resources.
