Should I Intervene? Have-a-go-heroes often hit the headlines. In Should I Intervene? on ITV at 7.30pm this evening, Fiona Foster investigates for the Tonight programme why some people step-in, and why others hold back. Intervention takes many forms, from stopping an armed robbery to helping someone when they’re unwell, but how many of us are prepared to intervene? We put that to the test in Chester City Centre with series of social experiments. With hidden cameras rigged, actors on standby and the Tonight team undercover on the streets, will anyone come to the aid of our actor when he appears passed-out in a busy main street? Mark Levine, a professor of Social Psychology, analysed our experiment. Next we test the ‘Bystander Effect’, which claims the more people who witness an incident the less likely they are to get involved, as they all assume someone else will take the lead. Will this prove true when 10 year old Millie appears lost and alone in a busy city? We also hear from boxer Anthony Crolla who gave chase to two burglars when he discovered them leaving his neighbour’s house. The much publicised act of bravery left him with a fractured skull and a broken ankle after he confronted them.
