There are two issues with how this study is discussed and it may not be a reproducibility issue exactly. 1) published in american psychology - samples europeans and south africans... Without sampling Americans where the effect was first displayed I don’t think we can call it ‘largely a myth’. There are huge potential cultural factors here for why someone might intervene or not. 2) There’s a sampling issue. Looking at police reports means committed crimes, while something intervened may not be reported to the police
