KittyGenovese
Case Study
, Key Information
On March 13th, 1964, Kitty Genovese was arriving home from work in the
middle of the night when she was brutally stabbed to death by Winston Mose
This horrific incident led to the coining of the term “bystander effect” – a
phenomenon within social psychology that describes how people are less like
to offer help to a victim when other people are present.
Although Genovese’s case sparked a widespread public discourse about
bystander intervention, it has since been revealed that the number of witness
who heard or saw the events was largely overstated.
The story of Genovese’s death continues to be told in pop culture today, thro
movies, television shows, books, and music.
