NEW ORLEANS — Mayor LaToya Cantrell today issued the following statement on the passing of Dr. Peter Scharf:
"I would like to extend my deepest condolences to the family, friends and colleagues of Dr. Peter Scharf," said Mayor LaToya Cantrell.
"The City of New Orleans lost a devoted public servant whose extensive knowledge helped foster a justice system that is more accountable, coordinated, equitable and effective. As a renowned criminologist, professor and founding director of the University of New Orleans’ Center for Society, Law and Justice, the legacy that Dr. Scharf leaves behind is seen every day not only in the lives of the students he so positively impacted but also in the overall public safety policies and practices in place today. His dedication, professionalism and service to our City will always be remembered. May he rest in God's perfect peace."
