With all the attention on New Orleans due to Katrina, it wasn't mentioned that the murder rate was so horrific that it's actual rate as of Aug. 31st 2005 of 45 per 100,000 was still higher than any other major city's rate for the entire year. BOJ statistics rate of 29 per in 05 was the rate after 6 months and the 37 per for New Orleans in 06 was from New Orleans' pre- Katrina population. The actual rate that year was anywhere from 70 to 80 per because the population was around 220,000. Then in 07 BOJ statistics listed New Orleans' rate as 95 per when the actual rate was probably more like 72 per because they used the population estimate of 06.
Off the hook.....New Orleans and DC were in a category of their own in the 90's...

Well your hopes are completely worthless and sorry you don't like seeing a thread like this. If people don't face a problem for what it is, it will never be solved.
