When an urban neighborhood is battling a surge in crime and racial tensions the usual response is to send in more cops. Madison has done that in Meadowood, a community of middle-class white homeowners on the cityâ??s southwest side now transformed by an influx of mainly poor, minority renters. But the city has also dispatched a team of friendly public health nurses to the front lines.
