This Element reviews the state of the question regarding theories
of cultic violence. It introduces definitions and vocabulary and
presents relevant historical examples of religious violence. It
then discusses the 1960s and 1970s, the period immediately before
the Jonestown tragedy. Considerations of the post-Jonestown (1978),
and then post-Waco (1993) literature follow. After 9/11 (2001),
some of the themes identified in previous decades reappear. The
Element concludes by examining the current problem of repression
and harassment directed at religious believers. Legal
discrimination by governments, as well as persecution of religious
minorities by non-state actors, has challenged earlier fears about
cultic violence.
