38 Who Saw Murder Didn T Call The Police Analysis

Martin Gansberg’s “38 Who Saw Murder Didn’t Call the Police” and Stanley Milgram and Paul Hollander’s “The Murder They Heard” solely focus on one killer (Moseley Winston) and the innocent victim (Catherine Genovese). Thirty-eight residents of Kens Garden, New York witness the death of Genovese in several occasion when killer stabbed her repeatedly over a period of time. Genovese survival was very slim because of citizens failed to respond to the assault in their neighborhood. Not a single person had the courage to call the police during the assault but later a witness reported after the death of Genovese. It’s outrageous and worries me that thirty-eight residents seek no aid to poor Genovese whose assailant attacked several times but no one

thirty-eight witnesses tried no effort to provide aid to Genovese. . I agree with what Assistant Chief Inspector Frederick M. Lussen said about the “good people” that the murder doesn’t “baffle” him it’s the “good people”. I’m certain in either of the text show that the thirty-eighty people who saw the murder could have done better. For example in “38 Who Saw Murder Didn’t Call the Police” one neighbor inside the apartment house, a man called down: "Let that girl alone” when Winston attacked Genovese. What caused that single man to just stay in the apartment and only yell to Winston? Alternative theories would be he was afraid to collide with the killer or, just an idiotic man who never realized what was actually happening to Genovese. Genovese misery havened ended yet killer came back to attack again. I believe the man action was worthless and effortless could have than more for example stepped out of the apartment first, get close Genovese and then help her or, that man could of call the police if he is frighten by the killer and let the law do its job. Without trying what can you accomplish, yes you may be afraid or can’t pull self to take action, but what morality is there if the thirty-eight residents of Kens Gardens can’t simply call for help before death occurred. I personally thought particular thirty- eight residents was a strange unexplained act of bystander’s with no attempted to rescue Catherine Genovese in need from a killer was an despicable

Well you have considered the importance of understanding of the other side of the stories is more than rational responsive action, but their alternative side of the thirty-eight residents in “The Murder They Heard”. Here’s the pinch of the story the alteration amongst the thirty-eight residents of Kens Gardens and the criminal is that they failed to prevent the homicide. Saying it and doing it is two different concept in “The Murder They Heard”. Everyone knows the right and wrong or the rational thing to do in a situation but once the stage appeared everyone is thinking and considering possibility of what’s going to happen to them. Who wouldn’t I would personal think before I try to be a hero. . My explanation would be valuing of life yours or Genovese. What caused them to be helpless is themselves I believe because no one wanted to risk their own life in danger or get killed for Genovese. For example even you called the police for help and arrested Winston there is a chance for him to find you and executes you. Another scenario would be you help Genovese out by opposing the killer, in advanced the killer executes you then Genovese because you were too weak to defend or help. What can thirty-eight people do, well not much because it take strength and courage to fight a threat or in this case a murderer. Having “fears” in the mind
