NOLA on schedule for a big drop in murders- maybe 2nd lowest since 1985

After a horrendous start in 2017, the murder rate, although still very high, is on its way down in the Big Easy. Compared to mid October 2016, the 2017 numbers are down 8%. If the expected downtick continues at the same pace as it has for the last 10.5 months, this could put NOLA at its second lowest number in more than a three decades, not including the Katrina year.

They've killed each other off. It's a cycle. Check the history. The next batch are in middle school. Give it a few years.

Everybody already got killed.

I've been noticing the big dip in the last three months.
Nothing out there to help explain it. Not sure it's nothing more than luck, but I site hope it stays on the same trajectory.

The MAGA effect is even spreading to New Orleans. Wow!
Posted on 10/19/17 at 10:17 pm to LSUTANGERINE
I think its because the weather is getting coolsr.

That would be nice, but in July, a report said that the amount of people injured by gunfire had increased by almost 60% compared to last year. I think their aim is just getting worse.

The Governor says crime around the state will drop like it did in Texas, North Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi, and South Carolina, if this initiative passes.

Overview
On June 15, 2017, Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards signed into law the most comprehensive criminal justice reform in the state’s history. The bipartisan package of 10 bills primarily focuses on non-violent, non-sex offenders and is designed to steer less serious offenders away from prison, strengthen alternatives to imprisonment, reduce prison terms for those who can be safely supervised in the community, and remove barriers to successful re-entry.
The reforms should allow Louisiana to shed its status as the state with the nation’s highest imprisonment rate by the end of 2018. The state projects that the measures will reduce the prison and community supervision populations by 10 and 12 percent, respectively, over 10 years and avoid $262 million in spending. The state will reinvest an estimated $184 million of the savings in local programs to reduce recidivism and in services for crime victims.
Bipartisan Support for Popular Reforms
A bipartisan task force, whose membership included law enforcement, legislators, members of the state judiciary, as well as the business community, issued a report following the most in-depth study of our criminal justice system to date. The report made recommendations for the much needed legislative solutions.
The 10 bills passed by the legislature this year, included 7 bills by Republican legislators, emphasizing the broad, bipartisan support for the package. The bill was supported by the conservative Louisiana Family Forum, the Louisiana Association of Business and Industry, the District Attorney’s Association. In addition, 68% of Louisianans support bipartisan criminal justice reform.
The House and Senate votes for S.B. 139 (the bill that includes changes to parole and good time) were not particularly close votes. It had strong bipartisan support, and passed by 26-11 in the Senate, 75-30 in the House, and then 20-13 in the Senate concurrence.

big drop in murders
This is about the same as a 1-11 team last season that goes 2-10 this season and then brags that they doubled their wins.

It's the gays and hipsters with their damn gentrifying.

How about armed robbery, home invasions, and assault?
Contributing members of society relatively don't have to worry about the murder rate.
