   NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 16, 2005 ? New Orleans police say they have never   
   seen so   
   much peace and quiet on the city's streets.   
      
   "We haven't seen a robbery since the beginning of August," said Lt.   
   Troy   
   Savage, who patrols what was once the city's most violent   
   neighborhood.   
      
      
   "We're probably at this point, one of the safest communities in the   
   United   
   States," he said.   
      
   Police said a woman was stabbed to death Tuesday night ? the first   
   such   
   incident in 90 days, a record in this city.   
      
   Since Hurricane Katrina forced most of the residents to relocate,   
   police   
   say, the daily shootings and killings have stopped.   
      
   "This was the most lethal criminal underclass in the United States,"   
   said   
   Dr. Peter Scharf, director of the University of New Orleans Center for   
   Society, Law and Justice. "We were heading for a murder rate of 72 per   
   100,000. New York City is at seven."   
      
   Scharf says, according to city records, there were 265 murders in New   
   Orleans last year, 258 murders in 2003, and 275 in 2002.   
      
   Warren J. Riley, New Orleans' acting superintendent of police, says   
   the drug   
   dealers and gangs evacuated with the residents and haven't returned.   
      
   "We're a small town; we're Mayberry right now," Riley said.   
      
   Crime Wave Spreads   
      
   By some estimates, hardcore criminals in New Orleans numbered in the   
   tens of   
   thousands, and they're now living in other cities ? Baton Rouge,   
   Dallas,   
   Atlanta, and Houston.   
      
   Houston Police Chief Harold Hurtt says crime is up in neighborhoods   
   where   
   large numbers of evacuees have settled.   
      
   He says he needs 400 new officers and has asked the Federal Emergency   
   Management Agency for financial assistance.   
      
   "We're not going to let anyone come into the city and break the law at   
   will," Hurtt said.   
      
   Last week, Houston police arrested a New Orleans man charged with four   
   murders.   
      
   In Georgia, police have been busy busting alleged New Orleans drug   
   dealers   
   trying set up shop in and around Atlanta.   
      
   As a result, residents in some places are beginning to roll up the   
   welcome   
   mat. It's a criminal element some cities didn't expect, and New   
   Orleans   
   doesn't want back.
