Chapter 4: In the Unlikely Event of a Water Landing
Summary:
Darley and Latane conducted experiments to try to explain why the witnesses of Kitty Genovese's murder didn't do anything. The results were people in larger groups tend to not act on a crisis rather than those in small groups or one-on-one.
Discussion:
This passage made me immediately think of Boondock Saints because of the Kitty Genovese story. I had no idea it was that bad. I really enjoy reading this book. The results of the experiments were very telling as well.
