New Orleans Again U.S. Murder Capital: "The city of New Orleans once again obtained the dubious title of murder capital in the United States, after briefly losing it, FBI statistics show.
Federal crime data shows that with 64 killings per 100,000 people in 2008, New Orleans has the nation's highest murder rate per capita.
The second-highest city is St. Louis, with 47 per 100,000 people.
Baton Rouge, La., which gained population after Hurricane Katrina in 2005, came in No. 7 with 30 murders per 100,000, FBI data showed."
