New york Social Psychology study

I was trying to identify the social-psych study and its
researcher/author published during the 1960's involving a
woman who was being beaten by a man and subsequently murdered. The terrible but interesting part of this study and focus of this study is that this public abuser coming back several times to attack this woman in the early hours of morning with a number of tentants in the apartment building witnessing these physical attacks with none of these observers calling the police until the woman is actually killed.

A similar incident happened in which an individual was being attacked and although several people admitted they
witnessed this physical attack no one reported the incident to the police although they were in the same building.

Is there anyone that could reference the researcher and publisher for this study on "public violence in New York City" and the year it was published?
