      Crime in Louisiana is high due to factors such as high unemployment, poverty levels, and low quality of education. Additionally, the state has a significant issue with organized crime and violent crime, particularly in urban areas like New Orleans.

    2. It’s probably some chemical dumped into the Mississippi River. Just look at the map. Aren’t hormones still active in treated water? Could be roid rage.

    3. TBH the federal government updated its crime reporting software and many cities have declined to purchase the equipment and software to properly report crime ( so the statistics shown may be skewed).

    4. Why did they put Louisiana at the top of the legend scale but left DC on the map when it’s almost double?

    5. You can buy hard liquor 24/7 at any store in LA. That’s my guess. They also drive like assholes there.

      Look into Louisiana’s correctional system. Especially Angola. Its purpose is slave labor not reform. There is no incentive to reduce crime if inmates generate profit.

    7. New Orleans it’s just New Orleans. Baton Rogue, Lafayette, and Shreveport is more of the criminals killing criminals over criminal enterprises. Baton Rouge and Lafayette is aggravated by the drug smuggling along interstate 10. Shreveport has the same issue with the drug smuggling along interstate 20.

    8. Lack of opportunities, lack of education, and a political monopoly in urban areas that encourage victim mentality and degenerate culture

    9. New Orleans has been the murder capital of the world, right? I think they’re up there next to Oklahoma City or some other random city in the midwest.

      Louisiana uses a legal system very different from rest of the US, it’s based on French law instead of English law. This makes some odd loopholes, I believe they have a 90 day limit to the pursuit of homicides, so people understand if they can cross state lines or etc and avoid being caught for 90 days they de facto don’t have to worry about it, this leads to lots of murder/homicides.

      The crime rate is primarily high in New Orleans – the NOLA police department is incredibly corrupt and this is the biggest contributing factor.

    12. Exclude certain “groups” of people and most of the country will look great. (E.g. poor)
