The Bystander Effect
S1 E3 - 1m 14s
The death of Kitty Genovese, who was murdered on her way from work in Queens, New York in 1964, while people in nearby apartments were sleeping, became a case study in what became known as the Bystander Effect.
A Twist to the Kitty Genovese Case
S1 E3 - 1m 2s
In this scene from "Digital Bystander," how the press reported the Genovese story wrongly created a catalyst for the creation of the 911 system, and new calls for bystander assistance laws in the new era of publicly viewed violent videos.
