Baton Rouge Concerned About Crime

Baton Rouge has welcomed thousands of Hurricane Katrina evacuees, but there is an undercurrent of fear about crime and the effect of the evacuees.

"They put up with the crime in New Orleans, and now it's staring them in the face, but up here that's not going to be tolerated. People are going to handle it individually if they have to. This is the South. We will take care of it."
