	Mind Hacks: Remembering Kitty Genovese
		Kitty Genovese was murdered outside her apartment block in 1964 by a stranger.
		The story of her death had a massive influence on psychology, leading to the description of the bystander effect - where people are less likely to intervene in an emergency when they're in groups as when they are alone.
		This arose from the reports that Kitty was killed in sight of 38 of her neighbours, who all assumed that someone else would help or phone the police while she was being fatally stabbed.

		This month, 42 years after the murder of Kitty Genovese became one of the most shameful and telling moments in the bloody history of New York City, the state parole board has again rejected her killer’s plea for freedom.

		As tokki wisely observes, Kitty Genovese is an unavoidable topic in the social sciences and law enforcement.
		The Genovese case is cited as a canonical example of the bystander effect in the context of emergency helping.
		Kitty Genovese may have been a tragic case in a cold, heartless city but the myth surrounding her murder needs to be brought into perspective and seen for what it is: a case that's complicated, not what it appears to be, and many details of which have been lost in time.

		Kitty Genovese's case is brought up in criminal law usually during discussions over "anti-Good Samaritan" laws: a concept where a person is held liable for not giving any aid.

		Kitty and Mary Ann lived together in the apartment Kitty was so desperately trying to reach that March night.
		Winston Moseley, the man who murdered Genovese, apparently picked her at random, as a woman alone, not because he knew she was a lesbian.

		But the central characters are the doomed couple, Kitty Genovese (Cori Pfeffer) and her relentless stalker Winston Mosley (John Michael Dias).
		When we first see Kitty, she is on the street, full of life, fixing her hair and her lipstick, excitedly anticipating a night of fun.
		In her death agony, Kitty sings about how she wanted new shoes, a Siamese cat, a rocking chair, a lover's touch, and, most of all, the intervention of compassionate neighbors: "Who are these people I pass every day?" But for those people it is "just another night".

		As in the Kitty Genovese case, the ensuing newspaper reports discussed whether witnesses should be legally obliged to act, or punished for failing to do so.

		On March 13, 1964,a hard working attractive 28 year old Italian American young lady Catherine "Kitty" Genovese was repeatedly stabbed and killed by Black Winston Moseley, in the 20' distance between parking her car and the doorway to her home, in predominately Jewish Kew Gardens, in Queens, NY before 38 indifferent witnesses.
		Genovese collapsed in a foyer in the back of her building and finished what he'd begun on Austin Street, stabbing and slashing her repeatedly, then leaving her to die.
		Kitty Genovese would have been better off, in other words, had one witness seen or heard her attack, rather than the reputed 38.

		In the early hours of March 13, 1964, Catherine Genovese, known to her friends as Kitty—28 years old, slender and short-haired, with wide brown eyes and a welcoming smile that revealed a slight gap between her two front teeth—parked her red Fiat in a parking lot just across the street from her apartment.
		As Genovese began the short walk to her building, she noticed a man—later identified as Winston Moseley, a local laborer—lurking in the shadows.
		Genovese struggled to her feet and began limping around the building to the back entrance of 82-70 Austin, where she lived.

		The since-challenged story of the circumstances surrounding Genovese's death "continues to inhabit introductory social psychology textbooks (and thus the minds of future social psychologists)," the trio write in the September issue of American Psychologist.
		Kitty Genovese became synonymous with urban apathy, and her name is still invoked in comparable crimes, most recently in St. Paul, Minn., where five to 10 people reportedly ignored an alleged rape in an apartment building hallway in August.
		As the three professors prepared the article, Manning said, they were struck by the Genovese case as a contemporary parable _ the antithesis of the Biblical tale of the Good Samaritan, who stopped to assist a traveler assaulted by thieves on the road from Jerusalem to Jericho.
