They gave the Katrina evacuees keys to all the rooms in the hotel? I'm sure it couldn't have been a staff member taking advantage of the chaos, not possible, surely the evacuees stole the master key. Your anecdote is certainly groundbreaking.
This is a quote from the actual study, not the article on the study:
Taken together, the mixed findings presented here suggested
that Katrina did have some effect on serious crime at least in two of
the three cities examined, but those effects were neither widespread
(across all crime categories), nor pervasive (across the three cities).
This suggested that local circumstances, coupled by the volume of
displaced persons being absorbed by any particular city play a role in
increasing crime, and that disaster planning and relief efforts should
be cognizant of issues of over-saturation in the capacity of receiving
communities to adequately adjust to such disasters.
No I dont think they had keys, they flat broke in.
Read what you quoted back to me.

Again they are very clearly saying that the Katrina refugees were over-saturated into certain areas. AND had a part in increasing the volume of crime.
