Not one person called the police.” Forty years later, her brother Bill, who was 16 at the time of his sister’s death, decides to find the truth buried beneath the story. In the process, he uncovers a lie that transformed his life, condemned a city, and defined an era. Both a probing investigation into an iconic crime and a devastating look at the effect Kitty’s murder had on those who loved her, The Witness illuminates how much stories shape the way we see ourselves and the world around us, and how important it is that those stories are built not only on facts, but on truths. It is a film that brings healing to the family who lost so much that cold March day in Kew Gardens, and asks us all: what do we owe each other? Director’s Statement Like many New Yorkers, I grew up familiar with the name, “Kitty Genovese”, and the infamous story of her death: 38 neighbors watched a young woman being repeatedly stabbed to death, as if in an amphitheater, while none called the police.

Answer the following questions: 1. Besides inspiring the experiments you have just read about, Kitty Genovese also is brought up frequently in popular culture, such as the film Boondock Saints and the graphic novel (and later film) The Watchmen, from which the panels illustrating the document were taken. Why do people continue to discuss this case? 2. For Darley and Latane, what is the important question raised by this case? How do they answer it? Do you accept their answer? Why or why not? 3. For Takooshian, what is the important question raised by this case? How does he answer it? Do you accept his answer? Why or why not?

    AP PSYCHOLOGY NILAND Who Wouldn't Help A Lost Child? You, Maybe. by Harold Takooshian, Sandra Haber, and David Lucido Psychology Today, 1977 A lost child is one of the world’s saddest sights. There he stands on the street, looking around hopefully, his lips trembling, and his eyes startling to fill with tears. It's enough to break your heart. But is it enough to make you stop and help? Suppose the child asks you to make a phone call for him. Would you do it? Conventional wisdom has it that city dwellers don't help other the way folks do in small towns. They just don't want to get involved. Most people seem to believe this, based on their own experiences and a number of well-publicized incidents such as the 1964 tape murder of Kitty Genovese in New York City. She died while 38 people stood by and watched. Despite this general belief in city callousness, little research has been done directly comparing helping behavior in cities and towns. Even the classic 1970 work by psychologists Bibb Latane and John Darley (The Unresponsive Bystander: Why Doesn't He Help?) didn't deal with the question directly. Through an ingenious series of experiments, Latane and Darley discovered that the more people at the scene of an emergency, the less likely it is that any one of them will help. This "diffusion of responsibility," as they called it, inhibited even well-intentioned bystanders from taking action. When Darley and Latane compared the bystanders who helped with those who didn't, they found only one characteristic that distinguished between the two groups: the size of their home town.

  • Kitty Genovese Tragedy? **
    Fifty years later: What have we learnt from the 1964 Kitty Genovese tragedy? ** Harold Takooshian, PhD, Fordham University What is the moral legacy of the Catherine "Kitty" Genovese murder, 50 years later? It was back on March 13, 1964 at 3 am that petite 28-year-old Kitty repeatedly screamed for her life when she was brutally attacked on her way home, but none of the reported 38 neighbors who heard Kitty's screams so much as phoned the police, as the psychopath brutally sliced Kitty to death in two attacks over an excruciating half-hour. The neighbors' inaction was so inexplicable that New York Times Editor A.M. Rosenthal was moved to write his classic book, Thirty-eight witnesses, which transformed Kitty's tragedy from an unreported incident to a front-page headline around the world--that still impacts our society a half-century later. In his book, Rosenthal asked a series of behavioral scientists to explain why people do or do not help a victim and, sadly, he found none could offer an evidence-based answer. How ironic that this same question was answered separately by a non-scientist. When the killer was apprehended, and Chief of Detectives Albert Seedman asked him how he dared to attack a woman in front of so many witnesses, the psychopath calmly replied, "I knew they wouldn't do anything, people never do" (Seedman & Hellman, 1974, p. 100). Though Ms. Genovese surely felt horribly alone and unheard that final night, it is hard to overestimate the immense and diverse impacts her unanswered cries have had on western society: the national 9-1-1 phone system, victim services, rape prevention, community self- help groups, Guardian Angels, Good Samaritan and duty-to-aid legislation, anti-stalking programs and, of course, new research in the behavioral sciences.

By any measure that is big indeed." —Joe Morgenstern "This extraordinary documentary looks at one of the most infamous of all modern crime stories—the 1964 murder, in Queens, of Kitty Genovese, while her screams were reportedly ignored by dozens of neighbors—through the focus of another genre, the personal documentary." —Richard Brody “As gripping as true-crime procedurals Serial and Making a Murderer, but with more intimacy and heartache.” —Stephanie Merry CRITICS’ PICK 100% “Top Critics” SHORT SYNOPSIS The name Kitty Genovese became synonymous with bystander apathy after The New York Times reported that 38 witnesses watched her being murdered – and did nothing to help.
