New Orleans Ranks Top 10 in Gun Violence Prevention | New Orleans News

from New Orleans News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

New Orleans is making waves nationally for its bold, prevention-focused approach to gun violence — landing a top-ten spot in the 2025 Violence Prevention Index with a score of 65, far outpacing the national average of 36. The city earned points for innovative programs like Ubuntu Village NOLA and Thrive Kids, hospital-based intervention teams, trauma recovery services, and housing support — all part of a public health strategy that tackles violence at its roots. With an Office of Violence Prevention leading coordinated efforts, officials see this recognition as proof their investments are working — and they’re using it as fuel to keep pushing forward toward a safer, more resilient city.
