| Sumario: | Stochastic terrorism has been bandied about in recent public discourse. However, it has received little scholarly attention, particularly in understanding its mechanics and the deeper psychological context in which it might flourish.

The January 6 Capitol siege and other historical events are used as illustrations. |
