Cult and Terror Groups

Darin Challacombe draws on his professional experiences to discuss cults and terror groups. He defines terms relevant to this literature and helps the listener distinguish between cults, terror organizations, and other groups. Dr. Challacombe also describes how these groups recruit members and which factors make people more vulnerable to these influences. We then apply these frameworks to various groups, such as sovereign citizens, to determine whether they meet the criteria as a cult.
