In Deutschland sind rund 90% der Opfer von Sexualdelikten Frauen, 10% Männer.
Es gibt insgesamt 5,33 Millionen erwachsene weibliche Opfer von Sexualdelikten in Deutschland.
Jährlich kommt es zu 70.000 bis 140.000 Vergewaltigungen in Deutschland, die zu knapp 10 % angezeigt werden.6
Laut Dunkelfeldstudien ist die Anzahl der Opfer von sexuellen Kindesmissbrauch erheblich. Nur ca. 10% der angezeigten Fälle enden mit einer Verurteilung. (Deutschland, Stand 2010)
Ca. 8000 Anzeigen von Vergewaltigung und sexueller Nötigung erfolgen jährlich in Deutschland. (Stand: Deutschland, 1. Jahrzehnt, Drittes Jahrtausend)
Aufkärungsquote von sexuellen Gewaltverbrechen: 83% (Zeitraum: 2007 und 2006)
In Deutschland kommt es jährlich zu rund 3 Prozent Falschbezichtigungen bei sexuellen Straftaten.9
Weltweit
Mythos: Falschbezichtigungen bei Vergewaltigungen
Mythos: Wunsch nach Vergewaltigung
Vergewaltigungsstatistiken belegen, dass Südafrika die höchste Vergewaltigungsrate der Welt aufweist.
Für eine in Südafrika geborene Frau ist es wahrscheinlicher, im Lauf ihres Lebens vergewaltigt zu werden als lesen zu lernen.
Eine Studie des Medical Research Councils (veröffentlicht im Juni 2009) befragte 1.738 Männer aus allen Bevölkerungsgruppen Südafrikas. 27,6 Prozent der befragten Männer in Südafrika bestätigten mindestens einmal in ihrem Leben eine Frau oder ein Mädchen vergewaltigt zu haben.
Drei Viertel davon gaben an, sie hätten mit weniger als 20 Jahren erstmals vergewaltigt. Beinahe jeder zehnte Vergewaltiger war zum Zeitpunkt seines ersten Verbrechens jünger als zehn Jahre. Unter den über 30-Jährigen gab es 1,9 Prozent Vergewaltiger.
Die Hälfte der Vergewaltiger gestand mehrere Vergewaltigungen ein.
Unter den Vergewaltigern, die Frauen missbraucht haben, waren 20 Prozent zum Zeitpunkt der Vergewaltigung HIV-positiv. 2,9 Prozent der Befragten gaben an, Männer oder Knaben vergewaltigt zu haben, wovon 27,8 Prozent HIV-Positiv waren.
Die südafrikanische Polizeistatistik für das Jahr 2007 notiert 36.190 Anzeigen wegen Vergewaltigung.
Im Jahr 2002 waren laut Polizeistatistik 15 Prozent aller Vergewaltigungsopfer Kinder unter 11 Jahren.
Stand 2008: Von insgesamt 23.562.600 südafrikanischen Männern sind 112.835 (0,48% der männlichen Bevölkerung) in Gefängnis, um für ein Verbrechen zu büßen.
Junge Männer sind Angehörige des gewalttätigsten Geschlechts auf Erden. Laut Kriminalstatistiken, biologischen und anthropologischen Gutachten sind junge Männer im Alter von 14-23 am gewaltgefährlichsten.
Vergewaltigung und sexueller Missbrauch – Vorurteile und Tatsachen |
Vergewaltigung – jegliches Eindringen in den Körper einer Person gegen ihren Willen – ist die extremste Form sexualisierter Gewalt. Sie missachtet das sexuelle Selbstbestimmungsrecht der Frau und ist Ausdruck männlicher Übermacht durch Unterwerfung und Demütigung von Frauen und Mädchen.
Eine Studie zur Vergewaltigungsmythenakzeptanz15 ergab, dass es gesamtgesellschaftlich eine relativ hohe Akzeptanz von Vergewaltigungsmythen gibt.
818 Befragten wurde ein Fragebogen nach Gerd Bohners 20-Punkte-Vergewaltigungsmythenakzeptanzskala (VMAS) vorgelegt. Die Ergebnisse sind:
Die gesamtgesellschaftliche Aufgabe besteht darin
| # | Fehleinschätzung | T A T S A C H E |
| 1. | Vis-haud-ingrata-Theorie / Typ C – Eine Vergewaltigung ist aggressiver Geschlechtsverkehr. Manche Frauen empfinden ihn als "luststeigernd" oder als besonders "männlich". | Vergewaltigung ist eine existenzielle Bedrohung, kein sexueller Akt. Sie ist ein massiver Angriff auf die psychische und physische Integrität der missbrauchten Person. |
| 2. | Abwehrtheorie / Typ C – Frauen und Mädchen wollen hart genommen werden. Sie genießen es, vergewaltigt werden, sonst würden sie sich wehren. | Eine Vergewaltigung erfolgt immer gegen den Willen einer Frau. Sie wird nicht als lustvoll sondern als lebensgefährliche Bedrohung mit akuter Todesangst erlebt.17 Meist führt dies zu einem Schockzustand, in dem eine körperliche Gegenwehr unmöglich ist. Ein NEIN und Gegenwehr wird vom Vergewaltiger übergangen.18 |
| 3. | Typ C / D – Nur junge, attraktive Frauen oder solche, die sich aufreizend kleiden oder verhalten, werden vergewaltigt. | Jedes Mädchen und jede Frau kann unabhängig von ihrem Alter, ihrem Aussehen, ihrer Kleidung, Nationalität oder Religion Opfer einer Vergewaltigung werden. Kein Verhalten kann eine Vergewaltigung ausschließen. Kein Verhalten von Mädchen und Frauen, das eine Vergewaltigung rechtfertigt. |
| 4. | Opferabwertung / Typ B – Einer vergewaltigten Frau sieht man den Missbrauch an. Sie erzählt sofort von der Tat. | Es gibt kein typisches Opferverhalten. Vergewaltigte reagieren individuell (verzweifelt, ruhig, aggressiv). Das jeweilige Verhalten ist kein Maßstab für Glaubwürdigkeit. Aus Scham, Angst und möglichen Schuldzuweisungen reden nur wenige Vergewaltigte mit nahestehenden oder fremden Personen über das Verbrechen oder erstatten Anzeige. |
| 5. | Überfalltheorie Typ D – Vergewaltigungen geschehen meist nachts, überfallartig durch Fremdtäter im Freien. | Vergewaltigungen sind zu 70-80% geplant und geschehen rund um die Uhr. Nur 11-22% der Sexualopfer werden von Unbekannten angegriffen. Zwei Drittel aller Vergewaltigungen finden im sozialen Umfeld der Opfer statt. Überwiegend kennen sich Täter und Opfer (zumindest flüchtig). Freunde, Bekannte, Väter, Brüder, Ehemänner, Partner überwältigen in der Familie, im Freundeskreis, am Arbeitsplatz, in der Wohnung des Opfers. |
| 6. | Triebtätertheorie – Eine Vergewaltigung ist eine sexuell motivierte Triebtat. | Eine Vergewaltigung ist eine aggressiv, nicht sexuell, motivierte Gewalttat. Dieses Verbrechen geschieht aus Wut, Kontrolle und Dominationsmacht. Sie ängstigen, erniedrigen und beschämen. |
| 7. | Triebtätertheorie – Vergewaltiger sind anormal, psychisch krank oder sexuell ausgehungert und gestört. | Vergewaltiger sind zu über 90% nicht psychopathologisch auffällig.19 Keine biologische, psychische oder physische Veraussetzung untersagt es einem Mann, sein Sexualverhalten zu kontrollieren. Seriöse wissenschaftliche Angaben zu "triebgesteuerten" Männern liegen nicht vor. |
| 8. | Typ B – Vergewaltigte Frauen sind mitschuldig an der Tat. | Vergewaltiger missachten die Würde und das Selbstbestimmungsrecht ihres Gegenübers. Ein körperlich gesunder und geistig zurechnungsfähiger Mensch ist befähigt, jederzeit und in allen Situationen abzuweisen. Sein NEIN gilt auch, wenn das Opfer zuvor zärtlich oder sexuell mit Täter verkehrte. Die rechtliche Verantwortung für den Missbrauch liegt aufseiten des Täters. Angesichts aller Verbrechen trägt die ganze Gesellschaft Mitverantwortung. |
| 9. | Opferabwertung / Typ A – Viele Anzeigen wegen Vergewaltigung sind Falschbezichtigungen aus Rache. | In Deutschland sind 3% der Anzeigen gegen Vergewaltiger Falschbeschuldigungen, in USA 2%. Aus Angst und Scham verzichten Missbrauchte auf eine Anzeige. Je näher sie mit dem Täter bekannt oder verwandt sind, desto seltener zeigen Frauen eine Vergewaltigung an. |
| 10. | Opferabwertung / Typ D – Theorien, wie sich Frauen zu verhalten haben, um der Vergewaltigung zu entgehen. | Eine Vergewaltigte befindet sich in Lebensgefahr. Hier empfiehlt sich, dem eigenen Instinkt zu folgen. Erfolg ist, mit dem Leben davonzukommen. |
| 11. | Omnipotenz-Theorie –Theorie, dass Männer sich stets gegen sexuelle Gewalt wehren können. | Ein Vergewaltigter befindet sich in Lebensgefahr. Hier empfiehlt sich, dem eigenen Instinkt zu folgen. |
| # | Zentrale Mythen | Verleugnung, Cliche, Rechtfertigung |
| Typ-A | Es ist nichts passiert.20 | Verleugnung des sexuellen Kontakts zwischen Täter und Opfer. Umkehrung des Täter-Opfer-Verhältnisses [Falschbezichtigung] – Projektion männlicher Phantasien (femme fatale) auf Frauen Nur rund 1% der Gewalttäter werden verurteilt. Demnach hat auch keine Vergewaltigung stattgefunden. Folge: Bei Gerichtsverhandlungen wird die Glaubwürdigkeit des Opfers stärker als bei anderen Delikten thematisiert. Brownmiller, 1975 |
| Typ-B | Die Vergewaltigung hat keinen Schaden angerichtet. | Verleugnung des Schadens durch Vergewaltigung. Durch Übernahme der männlichen Perspektive [Frauen als Besitz des Mannes] wird Vergewaltigung als "normale" sexuelle Interaktion betrachtet. Brownmiller, 1975 Rechtfertigung: Nur „schlechte Frauen“ können vergewaltigt werden. |
| Typ-C | Die Frau wollte vergewaltigt werden. | Cliché: Frauen meinen „ja“ wenn sie „nein“ sagen. Schlussfolgerung: Sie zieren sich, wollen jedoch "hart angepackt werden". Wenn Frauen die Abwehr nicht gelingt, haben sie eingewilligt, vergewaltigt zu werden. |
| Typ-D | Die Frau hat es verdient, vergewaltigt zu werden. | Rechtfertigung: Frauen sind verantwortlich für die Folgen, wenn sie sich aufreizend verhalten und in „riskante“ Situationen begeben. Folge: Mildere Beurteilung der Tat vor Gericht. Brownmiller, 1975 Mythos: Wer die Macht besitzt, Normen zu prägen, ist im Recht. Wenn Frauen den patriarchalen Verhaltenskodex nicht befolgen, werden sie zu „legitimen Opfern“. Prostituierte könnten nicht vergewaltigt werden. |

Strafrechtsrelevante Gewalt, die den Körper bedroht und verletzt, wird überwiegend von jüngeren Männern ausgeübt.
Entwicklungs- und hormonphysiologisch bedingt begehen im wesentlichen männliche Jugendliche und junge Erwachsene (vorwiegend Vierzehn- bis Zwanzigjährige) Gewaltverbrechen.
Der Hypothalamus von Männern und Frauen weist einen deutlichen Sexualdimorphismus auf. Nur bei Männern besteht eine Koppelung von sexueller Erregung, Aggressivität und Dominanzverhalten. In Verbindung mit einem signifikant erhöhten Testosteronspiegel und einem deutlich gesenkten Serotoninspiegel verüben prädisponierte Männer Gewalttaten. Serotonin, Oxytocin und das Neuropeptid Y tragen zur Beruhigung und zur Aggressionskontrolle bei.
In Deutschland gab es im Jahr 1997 Verurteilungen wegen folgender Verbrechen:

Rape and sexual assault – fiction versus faction |
| # | Rape myths | F A C T S |
| 1. | Rape is unwanted sex. | Rape is a violent, life-threatening crime. The vast majority of rapists are driven by motives of domination, control, and anger along with sexual attraction. Gratification is temporary. |
| 2. | Rape is a minor crime affecting only a few women. | It is estimated that 1 in 8 women in USA has been or will be forcibly raped in her lifetime.53 Because of low reporting rates, it is not known how many adult men are assaulted. It is also estimated that 1 out of every 4 girls, and 1 out of every 8 boys are sexually assaulted in some way before they reach adulthood. Rape is the most frequently committed violent crime in USA. |
| 3. | Rape is not violent. | Rape is a violent crime. Many rapists carry a weapon and threaten the victim with violence or death. |
| 4. | Women incite men to rape. | More than 70% of rapes are planned in advance for which the rapist is accountable. Opportunity determines the deed. |
| 5. | Rape is an impulsive, spontaneous, uncontrollable act of sexual gratification. | Rapes are a premeditated act of violence [71%], not a spontaneous act of passion. The vast majority of rapists are driven by force, anger, and control, not by sexual gratification. 60% of convicted rapists were married or had regular sexual partners at the time of the assault. |
| 6. | Most rapists only rape one time. | Most rapists carefully plan the crime and repeat it again and again, usually in the same area of town and in the same way – until caught. |
| 7. | Rape is a crime of passion. | Rape is an act of VIOLENCE, not passion. Sex crimes hurt and humiliate. |
| 8. | The assailant cannot control him/herself. | Men can control their sexual impulses. |
| 9. | There is a "right way" to respond to a rape situation. | Exposed to a life-threatening crime the raped woman is best advised to follow her instincts to simply stay alive. |
| 10. | A raped woman should not dwell on the rape experience but "forget it". | Victims are best served when they can talk about the assault with intimate relations and knowledgeable professionals. Those who are denied to talk about the abuse take longer to recover form it. |
| 11. | Family members support the recovery of raped woman best. | When the victim's surroundings behave unsupportively or negatively [worrying about one's reputation, blaming the recoverer, withdrawal, hostility, stigmatizing, demanding secrecy] the recovery is more difficult. |
| 12. | Rape trauma syndrome is transient. | Rape is a life changing experience, devastating for the mental health of victims. 31% of all raped women develop Rape-related Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (RR-PTSD) for a prolonged time.54 |
| 13. | Rapists are non-white, foreigners, lower class, "criminal types." | Such rapists are more likely to be prosecuted. Rapists come from all professions, classes and races. |
| 14. | One may perceive a rapist by the way he looks. | Rapists may appear friendly, normal, and non-threatening. Many are young, married and have children. Rapist types and traits can be categorized. |
| 15. | Incest is rare. | Incest is common on all levels. An estimated 77% of reported sexual abusers are parents (57% of which natural parents), 16% are other relatives, and 6% are non-related. The abusers are male in 60 to 95% of the cases.55 |
| 16. | You cannot be assaulted against your will. | Assailants overpower their victims with the threat of violence or with actual violence. Especially in cases of acquaintance rape or incest, an assailant often uses the victim's trust in him to isolate her. |
| 17. | Sexual assaults are rare deviations and concern only few people. | Sexual assaults are common. Every 4th woman worldwide has been sexually assaulted once in her lifetime. Victims rarely discuss their assaults, many block them from conscious memory. The trauma may surface at another crisis or in the presence of a sympathetic person. An estimated 155,000 women in USA were raped each year between 1973 and 1987.56 |
| 18. | Rapists are sick or insane men, or abnormal perverts. | In a study of 1300 convicted offenders most were well-adjusted, few were diagnosed as mentally or emotionally ill. All had a greater tendency to express their anger through violence and rage. |
| 19. | Women often make false reports of rape. Women frequently "cry" rape. | Eight percent of forcible rape complaints were “unfounded,” while the average of false rape and related sex offenses reports was 2 percent. [Status 1996]57 Many cases are dropped because of insufficient evidence for conviction. |
| 20. | Women fantasize about being raped. | No woman fantasizes about being raped. Less than 0.7% out of 7789 questioned women phantasize of being raped.58 Fantasies about aggressive sex may be controlled and turned off if they become threatening. A person being actually raped is unable to counter the violence and end it. |
| 21. | Women secretly enjoy being raped. | No woman, man, child enjoys being raped. It is a brutal intrusion on the mind, body and spirit that can result in lasting trauma. |
| 22. | Women "ask for it" by their provocative clothing or actions. | Rapists look for victims they perceive as vulnerable, not for women who dress provocatively. Assuming that women provoke attacks by where they are or the way they dress is victim-blaming. No person, whatever their behavior, "deserves" to be raped. |
| 23. | Only "bad" women get raped. | Of all crimes rape victims are faced with the highest suspicion and doubt. According to studies a major reason for blaming the victim of being out late at night, drinking alcohol, dress sexily, leading on is motivated by unconscious self-protection. |
| 24. | Rape only happens to young attractive women. | Rape can happen to anyone at anytime. Age, social class, ethnic group and has no bearing on the person a rapist chooses to attack. Survivors range in age from infancy to old age, and their appearance is seldom a consideration.59 The rapist chooses available and most vulnerable targets [old persons, children, physically or emotionally disabled persons, substance abusers and street persons] who can easily be intimidated.60 Men are also attacked. |
| 25. | Rape only occurs outside and at night by strangers. | Rape does occur anytime and anyplace, mostly during the day and at home. Over 50% of reported rapes occur in the home.61 80% of the sexual assaults reported by college age women and adult women were perpetrated by close friends or family members. There is no common profile of a rapist. Rapes are committed by people from all economic levels, all races, all occupations. |
| 26. | Sexual assaults usually occur between strangers. | Over 70% of rape victims know their attackers [relatives, friends, co-workers, dates or acquaintances]. Assaults by assailants the victim knows are often not reported so the statistics do not reflect the actual numbers of acquaintance rapes. |
| 27. | Only women and gay men get raped. | The vast majority of male rape victims, as well as their rapists, are heterosexual. Male rape victims represent 8% of the primary victims.62 Rapists are driven by the desire to overpower and control another person, not by sexual attraction. Male rape is not homosexual rape. Many male victims do not report the assault because they fear further humiliation. |
| 28. | Gang rape is rare. | In 43% of all reported cases, more than one assailant was involved. |
| 29. | No woman or man can be raped against her or his will. | In 1991, 14% of the rapes63 involved the use of a weapon. 74% involved physical force and/or threats of force. Women are often physically weaker than men and are not taught to defend themselves or to be physically aggressive. Some women are unwilling to hurt another person, especially if the offender is someone they know. |
| 30. | If the assailant, victim, or both are drunk, the assailant cannot be charged with rape. | Forcing sex on someone who is too drunk to give consent is second degree rape in North Carolina. [It carries a prison sentence of up to 17 years.] People who commit crimes like rape while under the influence of alcohol or drugs are not considered free from guilt. |
| 31. | Women who are drunk are willing to engage in any kind of sexual activity. | The fact that a woman has been drinking does not imply consent. Alcohol and drugs can render a woman incapable of consent. |
| 32. | Husbands don't rape their wives. | Laws against spousal rape were being installed in the 80s and 90s. Most battered wives have experienced spousal sexual abuse. Estranged or ex-spouses may use rape as a form of retaliation. |
| 33. | A husband can't sexually assault his wife. | Regardless of marital or social relationship, if a woman does not consent to sexual activity, she is being sexually assaulted. 14% of women are victims of rape committed by their husband. |
| 34. | Raped persons who do not report the act immediately do not consider it as a crime. | There is no typical correct victim behavior. Rape victims may react desperately, calmly, aggressively. Individual behavior is no standard for credibility. Only few rape victims reveal the crime immediately to close or unknown relations or report it to the police. They choose to remain silent out of shame, fear, and to avoid possible blame. If the rape is reported to a law enforcement agency within one year of its commission it can be prosecuted years later. Most rape victims do not report, others prepare themselves up to 3-6 years to report the crime to a law enforcement agency. |

|
| 1. | Approach gender violence as a MEN'S issue involving men of all ages and socioeconomic, racial and ethnic backgrounds. | View men not only as perpetrators or possible offenders, but as empowered bystanders who can confront abusive peers. |
| 2. | If a brother, friend, classmate, or teammate is abusing his female partner – or is disrespectful or abusive to girls and women in general – don't look the other way. | If you feel comfortable doing so, try to talk to him about it. Urge him to seek help. Or if you don't know what to do, consult a friend, a parent, a professor, or a counselor. DON'T REMAIN SILENT. |
| 3. | Have the courage to look inward. Question your own attitudes. | Don't be defensive when something you do or say ends up hurting someone else. Try hard to understand how your own attitudes and actions might inadvertently perpetuate sexism and violence, and work toward changing them. |
| 4. | If you suspect that a woman close to you is being abused or has been sexually assaulted, gently ask if you can help. | |
| 5. | If you are emotionally, psychologically, physically, or sexually abusive to women, or have been in the past, seek professional help NOW. | |
| 6. | Be an ally to women who are working to end all forms of gender violence. | |
| 7. | Recognize and speak out against homophobia and gay-bashing. | Discrimination and violence against lesbians and gays are wrong in and of themselves. This abuse also has direct links to sexism (eg. the sexual orientation of men who speak out against sexism is often questioned, a conscious or unconscious strategy intended to silence them. This is a key reason few men do so). |
| 8. | Attend programs, take courses, watch films, and read articles and books about multicultural masculinities, gender inequality, and the root causes of gender violence. | Educate yourself and others about how larger social forces affect the conflicts between individual men and women. |
| 9. | Don't fund sexism. | Refuse to purchase any magazine, rent any video, subscribe to any web site, or buy any music that portrays girls or women in a sexually degrading or abusive manner. Protest sexism in the media. |
| 10. | Mentor and teach young boys about how to be men in ways that don't involve degrading or abusing girls and women. | Lead by example |

| FACT or MYTH | Statements made on bullying | Legend |
| FACT | People who bully have power over those they bully. | Bullies usually pick on those who have less social power (peer status), psychological power (know how to harm others), or physical power (size, strength). Some bullies also have been bullied by others. People who both bully and are bullied by others are at the highest risk for problems (such as depression and anxiety) and are more likely to become involved in risky or delinquent behavior. |
| FACT | Spreading rumors is a form of bullying. | Spreading rumors, name-calling, excluding others, and embarrassing them are all forms of social bullying that can cause serious and lasting harm. |
| MYTH | Only boys bully. | Verbal, social, and physical bullying happens among both boys and girls, especially as they grow older. |
| MYTH | People who bully are insecure and have low self-esteem. | Many people who bully are popular and have average or better-than-average self-esteem. They often take pride in their aggressive behavior and control over others. They may be part of a group that deems bullying okay. Some people who bully may also have poor social skills and experience anxiety or depression. They may use bullying as a way to gain social status. |
| MYTH | Bullying usually occurs when there are no other students around. | Students witness about four out of every five bullying incidents at school. Bystanders give the bullying students positive attention or join in about three-quarters of the time. Although 9 out of 10 students say there is bullying in their schools, adults rarely see bullying, even if they are looking for it. |
| MYTH | Bullying often resolves itself when you ignore it. | Bullying reflects an imbalance of power. Ignoring the bullying teaches bullies that they can bully others without consequences. Adults and other students need to stand up for children who are bullied, and to ensure they are protected and safe. |
| MYTH | All children will outgrow bullying. | For some, bullying continues as they become older. Unless someone intervenes, the bullying will likely continue and, in some cases, grow into violence and other serious problems. Children who consistently bully others often continue their aggressive behavior through adolescence and into adulthood. |
| MYTH | Reporting bullying will make the situation worse. | Research shows that children who report bullying to an adult are less likely to experience bullying in the future. Adults should encourage children to help keep their school safe and to tell an adult when they see bullying. |
| MYTH | Teachers often intervene to stop bullying. | Adults often do not witness bullying despite their good intentions. Teachers intervene in only 14 percent of classroom bullying episodes and in 4 percent of bullying incidents that happen outside the classroom. |
| MYTH | Nothing can be done at schools to reduce bullying. | School initiatives to prevent and stop bullying have reduced bullying by 15 to 50 percent. The most successful initiatives involve the entire school community of teachers, staff, parents, students, and community members. |
| MYTH | Parents are usually aware that their children are bullying others. | Parents play a critical role in bullying prevention, but they often do not know if their children bully or are bullied by others. To help prevent bullying, parents need to talk with their children about what is happening at school and in the community. |

The Bystander effect also called Genovese syndrome is a social psychological phenomenon.
Murder case of Kitty Genovese (1964) – two consecutive attacks – no 911 call availed, six eye witnesses and 32 indirect bystanding witnesses didn't call the police.
Many of the witnesses reported that they did not realize that Kitty Genovese was actually being murdered. They believed that they were witnessing a "lover’s quarrel".
There is also neighborhood watch and the "mad mob effect".

Appeasing the demons is an ancient Buddhist practice.
Female US American Lama Tsultrim Allione was recognized in Tibet as an incarnation of Machig Lapdrön, the eleventh century yogini. She is the author of Feeding your demons. Ancient Wisdom for Resolving Inner Conflict
As an expert in transforming demons she suggests: "Take the paradigm of feeding rather than fighting our own inner demons."
Allione adapted the wisdom of Tibet's greatest female spiritual master Machig Lapdrön, who lived in the 11th century. The story of Machig goes that the demons were so moved by her fearlessness and by her generosity, compassion, and the stability of her meditation that they said to her, "Not only will we not harm you, but we will become your protectors and we will protect all of those who follow you."

How to tame wild young elephants? Young bull elephants [in Africa] were acting strangely out of character – antisocial and aimlessly violent; they were stomping on VWs, pushing over trees for no reason, and even killing other small animals and baby elephants. [*]
Park rangers came in to study the problem [...] they discovered that there were no older bull elephants in that area. By some accident, all the older bulls had either died or been poached for their ivory, which left the teenage males to roam and forage out of control.
Their solution?66
They brought in some older bulls from other areas by helicopter, lowered them onto the scene, and in a matter of weeks, amazingly, the whole situation had changed. Apparently, all the old bulls did was wave their ears and make various sounds or small charges, and somehow the younger male elephants understood through these communications that their behavior was not exactly the way growing up elephant boys should act. It seemed to be just that simple. Things soon returned to normal once the elders operated as elders.
