Not sure why the Bystander effect works 'so effectively' too, but the only reason I can think of for people not helping others is because of the fear that it might involve them in years of rounds of police/courts. Especially in India (my home country), it's a big problem as more often than not you'd be taken in an endless circle of it. Moreover, you might be falsely framed in some cases yourself, in absence of any Good Samaritan law as of now.
