Abstract

This chapter examines bullying, abuse and harassment as they relate in multiple ways to what are called hidden organizations—those where the identity of the collective and/or its members is communicatively concealed from key audiences. More specifically, several types of hidden organizations are identified that are of special importance here: secret societies, cults, hate groups, organized crime (including gangs), terrorist and counterterrorist groups, organizations engaged in dirty work and a range of others. Relevant literature is examined on each of these types of hidden organizations to uncover potential connections to destructive practices such as bullying, abuse and harassment both internal and external to the hidden organization. The chapter closes with key conclusions about these linkages and directions for continued research in this area.
