New Orleans' Crime Goes on Tour

Having home field advantage taken away by hurricanes Katrina and Rita is causing law enforcement problems elsewhere within the nation.

ABC News is reporting that the crime rate within New Orleans has gone on life support while elsewhere the criminal element is trying to crack open new markets.

The poverty and resulting crime within New Orleans has been so terrible that many police departments and citizens have not seen the levels of desperation that former New Orleans residents are bringing to their cities and towns.

As a result, keeping the areas' immune system to crime is slowly being compromised nationwide.
