Which of the scholars opined that "Terrorism is theatre" ?

  • A.Richard Jarvis
  • B.Max Weber
  • C.Brian Jenkins
  • D.Noam Chomsky

Answer: C

'Terrorism is theatre' was said by Brian Jenkins.

Brian Michael Jenkins of the RAND Corporation wrote in 1974 that terrorism is theatre: terrorist attacks are staged for the audience that watches, not just for the victims, and 'terrorists want a lot of people watching, not a lot of people dead'.

Max Weber, Noam Chomsky and the name printed as 'Richard Jarvis' are not the source of the phrase; Chomsky wrote on state terrorism, and Weber on the state's monopoly of legitimate violence.
