<u>Answer: </u>

The sociological term that best fits the original reporting of Kitty Genovese’s murder and the response of her neighbors is 'alienation'.

<u>Explanation: </u>

The Kitty Genovese murder case of 1964 gave rise to the studies of the bystander effect which is associated with alienation.
It was reported during the investigation of the case that about 38 people had witnessed Kitty Genovese's killing but all of them chose to alienate her by simply not going to help her.
The effect was named 'bystander' because the ones who saw Kitty being stabbed to death only stood by watching the killing happen.
