<p>A lot would depend on how the program prepares them for being out and about, whether it is Spain or Venezuela. I doubt you’d be able to access information like the number of kids mugged, etc., but you might be able to get a good sense about how they prepare them by talking to a program leader, or some parents/kids who’ve already done a particular program. Or maybe online reviews. How well-run the program is in general would be a good indication to me of how well they know what they’re doing.</p>
<p>That said, crime is intense in some Spanish speaking countries, or better-said, some cities. So there are differences and greater/lesser challenges.</p>
<p>BTW, the State Department website has a huge amount of information on traveling to any particular country, and that could be a good place to start.</p>
