Thompson: Economic Deprivation

Glock and Stark: Other types of Deprivation
Social Deprivation: lack of status and power leads a person to search for for this within Sects. Women often feel a low sense of worth as society doesn't value their roles as a spouse and mother.
Organismic Deprivation: those who suffer physical and mental problems find healing through the form of Sects.
Ethical Deprivation: by seeing moral decline, people are attracted by groups who want to live in a different way
