bystander effect
When witnessing a situation of an victim and 'incriminator', the degree of responsibility the witness has in helping the victim or stopping the 'crime' in progress. The degree of responsibility usually depends on three criteria; 1. Whether the victim is deserving of help, 2. The competence of the bystander, 3. The relationship between the bystander and the 'victim'. The bystander can intervene in usually two different ways; direct intervention, or, calling authorities.
Example:
I saw an old lady getting her purse taken by some thug, i just stood by and watched... later i felt confused and guilty. The feeling i felt could be described as the bystander effect

innocent bystander
The act of sitting on one's hand for 20 minutes to make it go numb, and proceeding to jerk off someone else with that hand. Very similar to the "stranger".

Innocent bystander
There's no such thing as an innocent bystander in real life. People are not animals, and are therefore not innocent in the true sense of the word. Every person thought to be a bystander has done something wrong in their life, and many if not most of them are usually not standing by in a passive manner most of the time, despite the bystander description some people use for them.
Example:
There is no such thing as an innocent bystander. To call someone an innocent bystander is to underestimate them.
