Case Study: Kitty Genovese
For this week's case study, please conduct outside research on murder victim Kitty Genovese then respond to the following questions in a 1-page paper:
Why do you think there were so many witnesses but no one tried to intervene?
Do you think Kitty's chances of being saved would be better if the crime happened today? (Consider the fact that there was no universal 911 emergency system in place in 1964.)
What are forensic psychologists referring to when they say the "Kitty Genovese Syndrome"?
