>>Kitty Genovese Syndrome<<
What is that?
Kitty Genovese Syndrome is also known as bystander apathy. It is a psychological phenomenon where persons are less likely to intervene in an emergency situation when others are present than when they are alone. The name comes from Kitty Genovese, a woman whose murder was witnessed by nearly forty people in 1964. Each of the witnesses thought that "someone else" was contacting the police or somehow lending assistance. She died of multiple stab wounds.
