An Empirical Look at the Ritual Abuse Controversy - Randy Noblitt, PhD Adapted in 2007 from a paper presented at the 40th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis, Fort Worth, Texas, March 18, 1998. “Some authors argue that there is no substantial legal evidence that the ritual abuse of children actually occurs, and that most cases of ritual abuse convictions are reversed on appeal. Michael Newton (cited in Noblitt, 1998a) accumulated data on criminal convictions in the U.S. where allegations of ritual abuse of children were made. He found cases of 145 defendants who were sentenced. Seventeen (11.7%) were reversed on appeal. Newton argues that these reversals do not necessarily indicate that the defendants were innocent of the accusations. In some instances the decisions were reversed based on legal technicalities rather than factual matters as to whether the abuse occurred or not.” _http://www.ra-info.org/library/programming/noblitt.shtml_ (http://www.ra-info.org/library/programming/noblitt.shtml) Profile of Ritualistic and Religion-Related Abuse Allegations Reported to Clinical Psychologists in the United States - Bette L.

Hornblum's new book, Sentenced to Science....And most haunting, his life as a lab rat while at Holmesburg, from 1964 to 1966. The period when Penn, like other institutions elsewhere, experimented on prisoners....Like Anthony, many of the inmates at Holmesburg were functional illiterates. He thought he was getting an easy test. After all, he knew guys who agreed to be injected with cancer cells, radiation, and mind-altering drugs. All he had to do was provide skin. _http://www.philly.com/inquirer/columnists/annette_john-hall/20071026_Annette_John-Hall___Human_research__Anger__no_apologies.html_ (http://www.philly.com/inquirer/columnists/annette_john-hall/20071026_Annette_John-Hal l___Human_research__Anger__no_apologies.html) ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com www.ctrl.org DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
