Very little sparks fear faster than being alone in the early morning hours on a dark street with a stranger coming from behind. Footsteps quicken. The heart races. Waves of terror crash in unabated. Often, the episode proves harmless and the fear gene subsides as quickly as it arose. Sadly, sometimes that?s not the case and violence occurs. Too often on Madison streets people are accosted, beaten or sexually assaulted.
