The ritual crimes in Africa

Abstract

This thesis consists in articulating criminal policy with religious realities and Negro-African beliefs. We must analyze the importance of the ritual crimes that the society represented by the Public Prosecutor must face.The problem therefore concerns the role of law and religion, in their regulatory functions which bring them closer together and distinguish them respectively, in the phenomenon of the deconstruction of traditional societies in the African space aggravated by the explosion of ritual crimes that are symptomatic of it.The interest of the thesis focuses on the causes and mechanisms of the resurgence of ritual crimes, and on the response or legal evolution that would aim to radically combat this phenomenon.
