- W4248473462 abstract "Abstract The raid conducted by German police in 2013 against an American-based sect, the Twelve Tribes, is part of a troubling pattern. There have been a growing number of government raids on new or unconventional religious communities in recent years. In some cases, these have resulted in harmful and even deadly consequences, as in the federal siege of the Branch Davidians. Only a few decades ago such raids were relatively rare. But now governments appear to be predisposed to use this draconian approach to enforcement on minority religions, even when the parties who lodge the grievance claims are unreliable, the allegations are unsupported by facts, and the evidence is questionable or ambiguous. While not suggesting that violations of law by groups labeled “cults” should go unchallenged, this book questions why such groups are selectively targeted for militarized raids. It offers six case studies of such actions, which reveal persistent features analyzed from a sociological perspective. It contends that the increased use of these high-risk and extreme types of enforcement corresponds to expanded organization and initiatives by opponents of unconventional religions. Anticult organizations provide strategic “frames” that define potential conflicts or problems in a given community as inherently dangerous and construct narratives that draw on stereotypes of child and sexual abuse, brainwashing, and even mass suicide. The targeted group is made to appear more dangerous than it is, resulting in an overreaction by authorities." @default.
