The Kitty Genovese Tragedy: A Social Psychology Perspective on Bystander Apathy

The shocking murder of Kitty Genovese in 1964 raised crucial questions in social psychology regarding bystander intervention.

This tragic event not only highlighted the dangers of social indifference but also sparked extensive studies into human behavior, leading to a deeper understanding of group dynamics and the factors influencing the decision to help or remain passive in critical situations.
