Your graph doesn’t specify the homicide rate now in BR compared to the 80’s-90’s.
I never said the table specified homicide rate. I said in my post it was a table depicting total violent crimes (includes rape, assaults, armed robberies, etc.). My point was that violent crime was worse in BR in the 80s and 90s, that's just a fact. The number of homicides, in pure numbers, are definitely up the last 3 years. The highest homicide rate per 100,000 people, though, at least as of 2020 (can't find data past this), was in 1993. I bet 2021 through 2023 and 1993 are in the same ball park as far at homicide rates go, especially if you go with the rate of East Baton Rouge Parish. Baton Rouge's population has been stagnant over the years but EBR parish has about 75,000 more people now vs. the 90s.
