NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana is called the murder capital of the United States.
For the last decade, statistics have shown murder-rates seven to twelve
times higher than the national average. Eighty-seven percent of the
victims are black males mostly in their teenage years. This is the
city’s greatest neglected crisis with profound implications for the
issues of violence and crime most American cities face. New Orleans
government, law enforcement, community leaders, and well-intentioned
citizens cannot agree on a prognosis or a solution to this situation.
Wherever a disagreement is escalating into violence, an execution
is being planned, or a victim is taking his last breath, it is more
than likely a youth is witnessing or carrying out these actions.
