Home | Domestic Violence Awareness Project (DVAP) Every choice violence prevention through bystander intervention. The Bystander Effect Project - Lin Looi. The bystander effect (also known as the Genovese Syndrome) was first researched on after the case of Kitty Genovese's murder, where it was said that her neighbours heard her cries for help, yet were completely unresponsive. The bystander effect happens when individuals do not offer any means of help to a victim in an emergency situation, mainly because other onlookers are present. It is a social psychological phenomenon where the greater number of bystanders there are, the less likely any one of them is to help - the presence of other onlookers and how they react determine how an individual would respond. It is prevalent in our society and the awareness of its causes must be brought to light. - For this entire project, I took on a quirky and slightly morbid illustration style to convey my message.
It's a serious topic to put across, so I wanted to make light of it in a humorous but sophisticated way and also have its morbidity show through to stick with people. Itsonus.org. Green Dot | University of Portland. University of Portland is a Community Against Violence. Green Dot gives every one of us the opportunity to reduce power-based personal violence in our community and help keep each other safe. Want to learn more? Watch this 90-second video: At the surface, power-based personal violence can seem like an abstract concept. For some, acts like stalking, dating violence, sexual assault, and rape happen in movies or in faraway places on the news. Fundamentally, violence in our community is a collection of individual choices to do harm.
Violence prevention must mirror the problem of violence. So keep watch. Maybe you feel comfortable handling a red dot situation directly. Maybe you are shy. Create a diversion that interrupts a choice to do a red dot. This project was supported by Grant No. 2011-WA-AX-0017 awarded by the Office on Violence Against Women, U.S., DOJ.
