Which of the following is a possible consequence of the bystander effect?
A. Police action will be sufficient.
B. Crimes may not be reported.
C. Media reports may be faulty.
D. School attendance will decline.
The correct answer is B, because the bystander effect means that if there are many people around you, you are not likely to help a person in need or to report a crime, whereas when you are alone, you are more likely to do so.
