Step-by-step explanation:

Fifty years later: What have we learned from the 1964 Kitty Genovese tragedy?

What is the moral legacy of the Catherine "Kitty" Genovese murder, 50 years later? It was back on March 13, 1964, at 3 a.m., 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 murderer brutally sliced Kitty to death in two attacks over an excruciating half-hour.
