Besides New Orleans, because we all know it's worse,....exactly where in our state would you consider worse than Shreveport?
....and while you're at it, what are the positive aspects to cancel out these 2005 crimes stats from Shreveport alone, not Shreveport/Bossier.
Violent Crimes-2249
Murder/non negligent manslaughter-39
Forcible Rape-151
Robbery-628
Aggravated Assault-1431
Property Crime-12878
Burglary-2969
Larceny-Theft-8893
Motor Vehicle theft=1016
Shreveport IS a nice place to visit, but no way in heck I'd
choose to live there.
