Although the majority of those members involved in the occult are law-abiding, some others choose to see their criminal activity in occultism as a hate crime toward other traditional religions. Ritualistic abuse is the main form of occult crimes. This crime is a category of occult crime enrolling repeated physical, sexual and psychological abuse that affects symbolic rituals. Some more serious forms have to do with the mutilation of people and animals, using mainly their blood. A more serious form of this criminal activity is the ritual attack on babies and children for devilish sacrificial purposes. These rituals are performed in special places, on days based on magical calendars provided in ancient books and require specific items for use threatening the life of the victims. The world alarm is the secrecy and hermetization of these groups, their codes of silence and the risk of murder of cult members if they want to cooperate with the police. The terror that the cult inflicts on its members makes their frequent detection impossible.
