<h3>What is the Bystander Effect?</h3>
The bystander effect happens when other people dissuade someone from taking action in an emergency, against a bully, or during an assault or other crime because they are present.
The more bystanders there are, the less likely it is that any of them will step in to aid someone who needs it.
When there are few or no other witnesses present, people are more likely to act in a crisis.
