The correct answer to this question is: exaggerated the extent of bystander inaction.
This can be seen because the article dealing with the murder of Kitty Genovese shows that there was an exaggeration in the report on the number of witnesses in this case.
When this murder took place there was a report that there were 38 witnesses, but there is no evidence of this and even the investigation team could not prove such a high number of witnesses, which shows that the spectator exaggerated in his account.
Kitty Genove's murder created the term "spectator effect," as Kitty, when brutally stabbed in front of her house, got no help from any of the witnesses, which created the theory that the more people watch a violent scene, the less they are likely to help the victim. This theory is explained by the spector effect.
