Victim blaming The term Victim blaming refers to holding the victim of a crime to be responsible for that crime, either in whole or in part. In the context of rape, it refers to the attitude that certain victim behaviors (such as flirting or wearing sexually provocative clothing) may have encouraged the assault.

QuoterrmoderatorTo whom it may concern: Cult groups often try to create unreasonable fears about the outside world. They also may find ways of labeling critical thinking negatively in an effort to shut down independent evaluation of what they do. Here are some links that explain "thought reform," "coercive persuasion" or what is commonly called "brainwashing."
