It's always had some crime issues but not like it does now.
i lived there 2001-2008 and the problem is that BR was pretty segregated in terms of bad areas. other than Gardere, you had to go north of Florida to really feel like you were getting into a dangerous area.
but post-Katrina, the Geauz-zone tax treatment led to an explosion of new "student" housing, which opened up the floodgates for the old student housing to go Section 8. now that's created a cycle of development/section 8 that's consumed large portions of the area where students live
violent crime scales with the gini coefficient, especially in smaller geographic areas with a larger gap

I've lived in the BR metro for 40 of my 43 years. The school desegregation ruling really accelerated things although I think we'd have ended up about where we are now either way. Believe it or not, much of the area north of Florida was fine in the 80s.
