Therefore, the Department of Justice emphasizes evaluation of the program both locally and nationally. Original sites were required to carry out a local evaluation. National evaluations of Weed and Seed include the national process evaluation by the Institute for Social Analysis (1995) and the national impact evaluation of the program by Abt Associates (1999). Many other local evaluations are ongoing. Oversight The Community Capacity Development Office, Office of Justice Programs, at the U.S. Department of Justice, oversees the Weed and Seed program. The Department of Justice implements a broad spectrum of programs to help prevent crime and assist law enforcement efforts around the nation. As one of these programs, Weed and Seed is the key component of the Department of Justice’s antiviolence and drug enforcement/comprehensive community revitalization strategy. Through these efforts, community residents nationwide have hope that they can enjoy a safer and better quality of life.
