Quotes about Shupe edit
- …there is evidence, particularly in the works of the late sociologist Anson D. Shupe, that sexual abuse is more common in [the] “old” religions than in [the] new religious movements, not only in absolute numbers but also in percentage. Yet, the media sometimes pay more attention to abuse in “cults” and create the false impression that sexual abuse is more prevalent in the “new” than in the “old” religions.
- Massimo Introvigne, "Victimizing Women Members of Spiritual Movements: Three Models and the Tai Ji Men Case", Bitter Winter (November 2023)
