"Ritual abuse" and "occult crime" witchhunts

For information about the "Satanic panic" of the 1980's and early 1990's, please see my pages about "Satanism" scares and their debunking and The "Satanic Ritual Abuse" scare of the 1980's and early 1990's on my separate Against Satanic Panics website.

Below are some updates and additional commentary by me, written before I launched my Against Satanic Panics website:

1. Responses to Christian writings:
   • Christian writers and the Satanic panic
   • Five types of Christians (parody)
   • Craig S. Hawkins
   • Bob and Gretchen Passantino
   • Russ Wise and his unwise research methodology
   • Ted Peters - a mainline Protestant theologian
   • The Watchman Fellowship
   • The "Satanic Ritual Abuse" scare -- it's BAACK!
   • An SRA scaremonger's bungled undercover operation?
   • Jerome Dominguez - the mad doctor
   • More later.

2. Responses to other writings:

   "Other" writings include (1) writings by non-Christians, (2) writings in which the religion of the author is not identified, and (3) writings from a secular viewpoint, regardless of the religion of the author.
