criticism
The series has been heavily criticized by leading Amish scholars such as Donald Kraybill, who teaches at Elizabethtown College and Donald Weaver-Zercher, who is a professor at Messiah College. Kraybill calls Amish Mafia “a fabrication” (“invention” or “story of lies”) and says: “My own view is that this is trash TV. To call these shows documentaries is a fraudulent lie. " (In my opinion, television is junk. Calling such programs documentaries is a malicious deception.) Donald Weaver-Zercher sums up the criticism as follows: "There is no Amish mafia." Amish not only reject violence in any form in their rules, but also exclude anyone from the community who violates the rules.
