In 1964, in Queens, New York, a 19-year-old woman named Kitty Genovese was attacked by a person with a knife near the back entrance to her apartment building and again in the hallway inside her apartment building.

However, as you may have experienced as a child, not all play behavior has positive outcomes. Some children are aggressive and want to play roughly.
