Every law school in the country teaches the Kitty Genovese case to illustrate the proposition that failing to report a crime is not usually a crime itself. Something like 38 people watched Kitty Genovese get raped and murdered on a street in New York in the 1960s, and not only did no one try to help her, no one even bothered to call the police.
