SINGAPORE — On Sunday evening, minutes before the 6pm curfew came into effect in the city of Los Angeles in the United States, Ms Crystal Chum, 35, was told that a hair salon less than a two minutes’ walk away from the nail salon she co-owns had been looted.
“But there is not much we can do right now, the police are too busy with the protests, too,” the Singaporean said. Ms Chum, who has been living in California for the past 10 years, was slightly taken aback by the turn of events: “I’ve seen various protests and demonstrations in my years living here, but this is the first time that it has escalated to such a severe state over the course of a few days and to many cities.

As Kitty Genovese was stabbed to death in an alleyway outside her home, the friends and neighbors she had lived next to for several years stood by, choosing not to get involved as she lay there dying.

There has also been a tremendous amount of interest in the reasons why we sometimes don't help others. The bystander effect is a social phenomenon that occurs when people fail to help those in need due to the presence of other people. In many cases, people feel that since there are other people around, surely someone else will leap into action.1 While the bystander effect can have a negative impact on prosocial behavior, altruism and heroism, researchers have identified a number of different factors that can help people overcome this tendency and increase the likelihood that they will engage in helping behaviors.2 Some of these include: Witnessing Helping Behavior Sometimes just seeing other people doing something kind or helpful makes us more willing to help others.
