The Bystander Effect - Kitty Genovese

In 1964, Kitty Genovese had left work at 3am and returned to her home in New York City. When she was walking to her door, she noticed a strange man coming towards her. She attempted to run for help, but before she could make it to safety, she was caught and stabbed. This attack would last for more than 30 minutes. Nearly 40 people heard her screams for help, and did nothing. What happened to Kitty Genovese? Why would so many people do nothing to help her? This is True Crimecast.
