Abstract
Anti-cult movements have had a significant influence on the creation of the 2001 Anti-Cult Law in France. For the first time, a state apparatus has been put into place against new forms of religion with the possible consequences of limiting religious freedom and tolerance in France. Even though the socio-political situation is different in Australia, the French case might serve as a platform for the anti-cult network to pursue a strict governance of cults via state agencies. By bringing a theory of the fear of crime to the cult/anti-cult debate, this article hopes to shed more light on this issue.
