Murder of Kitty Genovese
On March 13, 1964, 28-year-old Kitty Genovese was mugged and stabbed to death outside the apartment building on Austin Street, in the Kew Gardens neighborhood of Queens in New York City, United States.

The incident was the bystander effect or "Genovese syndrome", and the murder became a well known example of U.S. psychology textbooks. Genovese syndrome is when witnesses to a crime to not report a crime because they are scared and they believe that others will report it instead which in the end they do not and the crime goes unreported.
Police interviews revealed that witnesses either attempted to call the police or were afraid to be involved.
Winston Moseley, a 29-year-old Manhattan native, was arrested during a house burglary six days after the murder. While in custody, he confessed to killing Genovese. At his trial, Moseley was found guilty. Moseley died in prison on March 28, 2016.
