NOTE: A quick Google search suggests that the term is mainly medical. ___ In the context of the Holocaust the bystanders were the people who stood aside and watched but did nothing. The other groups were the perpetrators and the victims. Reasons for standing by and doing nothing are likely to have included: * Fear * Indifference * Mild approval * Unwillingness to believe what they saw * The attitude 'It's none of my business/nothing to do with me' I haven't heard the expression bystander inhibition before. Note that the neat division into perpetrators, victims and bystanders has its problems. Some people who started as bystanders later became victims, for example.

Yes. Imagine that you have a neighborhood with two rival gangs. These gangs engage in a shooting match in a residential area.
