Within the last few years, Madisonâ??s impressively low homicide rate has taken a slight shift. This time last year, all of Dane County boasted an annual homicide occurrence of less than two. Since the summer of 2007, the UW-Madison campus area alone has witnessed four fatal crimes, from the shooting of Austin Bodahl in front of State Street Brats to the fatal slaying of Brittany Zimmermann on West Doty St. As Madisonâ??s homicide rate changes, its campus safety strategies do not.
