Episode 23: “Let that girl alone!” – Kitty Genovese and the Bystander Effect
*EXPLICIT CONTENT WARNING* You ever hear a scream in the night? You ever think to yourself: "Someone else must have heard that. Someone else probably called the police. Someone else will help that person."
Sure, you live in an apartment in a dense urban neighbourhood. Lots of people heard it. And lots of people thought "Someone else heard. Someone else called. Someone else helped." But none of them did. And neither did you. And maybe someone died, like Kitty Genovese.
