It still is a top concern.Kozlov:"What are one or two things has your administration done, specifically, to combat street crime?"
Johnson has been quick to remind people he knows the perils and challenges of the streets. He has said, in his first 100 days, his commitment to getting at the root causes of crime and making streets safer hasn't wavered. It's why he named a first-ever deputy mayor of public safety, Garien Gatewood.
Johnson:"No, that's not a hope, and I'm glad your opinion is not the prevailing opinion of people that I talk to all over the city of Chicago. Do you know what people ask me all over the city of Chicago, what I've experienced over the first 100 days? How can they be helpful?"
