re: Why does New Orleans have more murders than similar cities?

What's the reason?

currently, the increase is probably due to inept policing because of the absolute lack of police. this along with the Ferguson effect is making criminals more bold, because they know of this deficiency. Mitch spent $40M of federal funds on cameras and effectively gave up on preventing crime and invested in solving it

also, the lack of segregation in Nola between economically different areas creates more crime. violent crime occurs in areas where polar classes meet
