Kitty Genovese Murder Location

Kitty Genovese Murder Location
New York, New York (NY), US
Kitty Genovese was a New York City woman who was stabbed to death near her home in the Kew Gardens, neighborhood of the borough of Queens in New York City, on March 13, 1964, by Winston Moseley.

Two weeks after the murder, a newspaper article reported the circumstances of her murder and the lack of reaction from numerous neighbors. The common portrayal of her neighbors as being fully aware but completely unresponsive has since been criticized as inaccurate. Nonetheless, it prompted investigation into the social psychological phenomenon that has become known as the bystander effect or "Genovese syndrome" and especially diffusion of responsibility.

The attack did not take place on Austin Street but to the southwest rear of the building, in the shadows in the image above.
