Post-Katrina New Orleans has become a lot of things: more stressful, less populated and more dangerous. One only has to watch the evening news to discover that crime is at the forefront of concerns in the metro area. A common misconception is that crime only affects people who are out “looking for no-good.” Not true. A look at the headlines tells a different story. Recently a forty-year-old mother and her teenage son were the victims of an attempted carjacking at a fast-food drive thru in Metairie (the teenage son was able to disarm and shoot the attacker), and most people have heard about the Faubourg Marigny woes: young mothers and musicians gunned down on their front steps.
