The Weed and Seed Strategy / [USA] NCJ 207498

http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/ccdo/pdftxt/strategy.pdf
"The Weed and Seed strategy is a two-pronged approach to
crime control and prevention:
Law enforcement agencies and prosecutors cooperate in
“weeding out ” criminals from the designated area..
“Seeding ” brings prevention,,intervention,treatment,and
neighborhood revitalization services to the area.
The Weed and Seed approach is unique when compared with
traditional crime prevention approaches of the past.The
strategy is based on collaboration,coordination,community
participation,and leveraging resources."
