Abstract

Cult crime and ritual abuse are frequent topics on TV talk shows and in print media. In addition, ritual abuse has been cited in child custody disputes and child abuse allegations in day care centers. This article describes forensic and therapeutic aspects of cult involvement for three risk populations: children, teenagers, and adults. Recommendations are given to protect suspect and victim rights and minimize the risk of harm from a negative cult experience.
