One part of the study compared New Orleans’ overall crime rate to those of similar-sized US cities, and found that New Orleans has a comparable but lower rate than those cities’ overall crime average. But it did recognize that New Orleans’ most critical crime problem is murder. The report also found that in nearly 72% of New Orleans homicide cases, the victim knew the person who killed him. It stated that most killings take place outside in New Orleans, in front of someone’s home, and that most likely - there are witnesses to most killings, which is why researchers recommended stronger ties between the NOPD and the communities it serves. The researchers made the following recommendations for the NOPD: 1.) Enhance crime analysis, 2.) Establish Homicide Review Teams, 3.) Strengthen our ties with the people of New Orleans.
