[Wikipedia entry on Stochastic Terrorism](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stochastic_terrorism])(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stochastic_terrorism)) > **Stochastic terrorism** is a form of [political violence](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_violence "Political violence") instigated by hostile public rhetoric directed at a group or an individual.
