My point is that crime in NOLA is NOT getting more out of control, as many here proclaim.
ok so we've gone from record breaking bad to just really bad? That's your entire point? If so, this thread is worthless

You answered your own question...

But even with that effort, New Orleans still has a murder rate that's almost four times the average for a city its size — and much higher than big cities such as Chicago, New York and Los Angeles.

Look, tangerine is a fricking moron in my book, but you've got your head up your arse trying to claim no one claims NOLA is getting worse. Come on. Read any of a hundred threads the last couple days here.
Okay, this present me with quite the dilemma.
I'll just have to go with this.

perhaps it is because the crime is extending more into the areas that they thought were free of most of the violence.

No that's not my point. My point is it's not getting worse like many here scream and yell every time there is another violent crime in your face from 24 hour internet news.
Look, this thread is fast approaching five (cross that out, six) pages in a flash. So...
Later.

NOPD does a good job of reclassifying violent crimes as less violent offenses. Sometimes, with the shortage of manpower, you are lucky to get an officer to come out to even take a report. Murders may be down, but random crimes such as armed robbery seem to be happening with increasing frequency. Further, statistics are just numbers which can be skewed by anyone very easily to obtain the desired result.

I think the sense that crime is more out of control now stems from where and who the crime is affecting nowadays. No one blinks when there's a shooting in the hood because that's normal, unfortunately. When it's career criminal vs career criminal, no one cares. We're desensitized to that headline.
It's only when nice restaurants are getting robbed at gunpoint and people are being carjacked uptown do we get up in arms. That's out of the ordinary and where people make the jump to "out of control".
Maybe these things aren't that uncommon. Maybe the 24 hour coverage and social media makes us more aware of them than in the past. I don't know.
But that's my interpretation when people say things are more out of control now.

Nola 4 times the higher death rate than NYC or Chicago. Yeah that's not safe at all. What a dump.

I'll bet you thought your post was a simple concept. Well it was, to anybody with half a brain. Unfortunately, you are on the OT forum and brains are not in abundant supply here!

there's more violent crime in Nashville and Houston than NOLA but who really believes that?
Houston is ten or twenty times the people as New Orleans.
Its amazing how big it is, physically.
No wonder there is "more".
the rate is the interesting thing. 3rd nationally is bad.
world wide, new orleans is not even in the top 10. Brazil and Russia lead murder rates by a wide margin.

It's like the OP didn't even read his own article.
Plus it's the locations of the crimes that have people worried.
And the known fact that NOPD fudges the statistics.

Damn you're dumb. The stats are per capita.

Property crimes and robberies are OOC.
Plus. NOZPD straight up lies about the statistics.
Murder is down, but it's down every other normal place as well

Ever have animals get into your trash, so you start putting bricks on it?
Then they still get into it so you move the cans.
Then they still get into it so you build a container around the cans?
At some point you have to except that it's not the fault of the garbage cans.
