Martin Gansberg's Thirty-Eight Who Saw Murder Didn't Call the Police was a report telling information about a incident that happened in Queens on March 14, 1964. The article was published in the New York Times on March 27, 1964. A young lady was bombarded by a man who who stabbed her as she was entering her apartment building. The report goes on to tell that neighbors of Catherine Genovese saw her being attacked and did not call the police till after she was dead. The author writes in the report in chronological order, then goes to tell the what the neighbors say about why they didn't call the police when the attack was happening. The author leaves the article open ended so the reader can make their own conclusions about the incident. You can tell though that the author wants you to think this was wrong and that her neighbors are also to blame for Catherine's murder. It is stated in the article by a police that if a neighbor were to call them while the attack was happening that Ms. Genovese would have survived the attack and the attacker maybe would have been caught.  In my opinion these people are doing their civil duties. As a civilian you should help out others if they are being hurt or anything else. This report in a prime example of how people can be, even in the 60's and I'm sure it probably has only gotten worse.
