Dozens of Bystanders Failed to Stop Alleged Cornell Gang Rape
Original: cornell 7 case
An alleged gang rape at Cornell University is drawing scrutiny after reports that dozens of men failed to intervene. A commentary piece argues the case highlights a well-documented misperception that keeps bystanders from acting: assuming someone else will step in or that the situation is less serious than it is. The author outlines how this diffusion of responsibility works and how it can be short-circuited to encourage intervention in future cases.
Why now: The alleged mass failure of bystanders to intervene at a major university has sparked debate about bystander behavior and campus sexual violence.
