In reaction to the survey data that showed how much Chicago youth worry about violence, the Free Spirit Media youth assumed that safety would be at the forefront of the minds of teens visiting the large Taste of Chicago event. The goal of the report was to gauge how safe teens felt at the event and to find out what precautions were in place to prevent incidents of crime and violence at this year’s event.
