Kevin Cook, Kitty Genovese: The Murder, The Bystanders, The Crime That Changed America

Summary: In March of 1964, 27-year-old Catherine Genovese, known as Kitty, was sexually assaulted and murdered in her quiet neighborhood in Queens, New York. The case became famous for illustrating the so-called “bystander effect,” the idea that people in urban settings don’t want to get involved in other people’s troubles, and besides, they figure, someone else must have called for help by now.
