Blood Sacrifices contributors: - Dawn Perlmutter, Ph.D. - Robert J. Bunker, Ph.D. - Marc W.D. Tyrrell, Ph.D. - Paul Rexton Kan, Ph.D. - Lt.Col. Lisa J. Campbell, B.A., SME Beheadings - Tony M. Kail, B.A., SME Esoteric Religions - Pamela Ligouri Bunker, M.Litt., M.A. - Charles Cameron, B.A., SME Religious Violence - SA Andrew Bringuel, II, M.A., SME Criminal Extremism - Jo?se de Arimate?ia da Cruz, Ph.D. - Mark Safranski, M.A., M.Ed. - Alma Keshavarz, M.P.P., Ph.D. Student - Pauletta Otis, Ph.D. The acknowledgment that blood sacrifice, particularly human sacrifice, actively occurs in the 21st century is a pivotal triumph in scholarly research. Twenty years ago, this book could not have been published. In most universities, think tanks, and government research facilities, characterizing any type of murder as sacrificial was viewed at best as a secondary motive and at worst as junk science. - Dr. Dawn Perlmutter

Editorial Reviews

Review

"...this is a must read for those in the contemporary 'occult revival' who misconstrue identity politics for spirituality - and even more so for those who recognize the incredible power that spiritual traditions hold for those who seriously pursue them...we have to be honest with the fact that what Bunker labels 'dark magico-religious activities' such as human sacrifice are a reality - and have become a serious and growing problem in the Americas and around the world." David B. Metcalfe, Eris Magazine.

"Dr. Bunker has done a herculean job of shepherding this controversial book, where thirteen authors explore the dreadful and totemic cultural forces operating just beneath the surface of irregular warfare and religiously motivated extreme violence." Mark Safranski, zenpundit.com

"Apparently nodding toward the incongruity of seriously studying blood sacrifices in 2016, Bunker and his co-authors compare their approach with alternative frameworks pursued by contemporary analysts, ranging from behavior science and rational scientific inquiry to data mining. They also argue, both explicitly and implicitly, that this salacious, bloodthirsty aspect of criminal groups has not received its due attention. To a large degree, they make a compelling case..." Patrick Corcoran, Insight Crime

"Robert Bunker has assembled a strong cast of authors including Dawn Perlmutter and Paul Rexton Kan to explore this understudied topic. The general thrust of their argument is that the role of blood sacrifice and dark magic symbols, is understudied, under-recognized and under- appreciated in the modern study of violent nonstate actors (VNSA)." Nathan Jones, Parameters

Dr. Robert J Bunker
Is very well informed and highly respected.

I liked the points of him going over the behavior patterns which are in belief systems.

And all systems operate,on the emotions of the individual . This is also regarding society too.
He gives a great understanding on THE WILL

he discusses how groups don't broadcast their involvement with drugs and chose to hide their drug problems or never mention the word addiction. yet they use drugs and distribute to others for many reasons (which he listed six reasons.)

I find this book to be well informed about society and highly recommend it for all those kids who are entering high school for the first time and no doubt will encounter narcotics being distributed in and outside of school.

Yes all kids will Explore the world at some time and the drug culture usually connects to criminal activity culture.

Every grade school child will have to meet social and psychological needs of others and this arises as a result of ones involvement with school kids, sports clubs and after one graduates its found in work places
(which constitute as society and one having to find there way through all the drugs and crime.)

One needs to really go over Dr. Robert Bunkers writting with a fine tooth comb.
Because he speaks about alot of things and not just religious groups.

THANKS AMERICA AND THANKS TO ALL MY MATURE AMERICAN BROTHERS AND SISTERS.

YOUR NEVER OUT OF STYLE AMERICA.

I'M IN CANADA BUT WHEN I WANT MATURE CONVERSATIONS I TURN TO AMERICA.

AMERICAN LOVE IS SO RIGHT AND REAL.
AND ONES LIFE IS CHANGED IN THE PROCESS
