“Few crimes have proved quite so confounding as the brutal and random slaying of Kitty Genovese, the 28-year-old Queens barmaid who was stabbed to death over the course of nearly 40 minutes one March night in 1964. The crime occurred outside her Kew Gardens apartment at the hands of an attacker she didn’t know.

Genovese’s cold-blooded murder would have likely been lost within the urban crime beat annals were it not for the case’s enduring notoriety, which has less to do with Genovese’s killing than with its 37 witnesses, friends and neighbours of Genovese’s who apparently watched and listened from their adjacent windows as the woman screamed for help – and did nothing. No interference. No calls to the police. Nothing.”
