Crime in New Orleans dropped after Hurricane Katrina

Apr 18, 2006

NEW ORLEANS- Crime in New Orleans dropped dramatically during the last three months of 2005 due to a smaller post-Hurricane Katrina population, police said.

Nine homicides took place in October, November and December, compared with 64 for the last three months of 2004.

At the same time, police in Houston, which took in about 200,000 Louisiana residents left homeless by Hurricane Katrina, reported that their crime rate had increased.
