But that's hardly necessary in New Orleans, which has logged at least 53 homicides since the beginning of the year - the highest murder rate, per capita, in the nation.

In raw terms, the number of student crimes (including theft) shrank from 3.4 million to 1.4 million in that period, even as the U.S. teen population grew by 5.4 million kids.
