ಭಯೋತ್ಪಾದನೆ ಎಂಬುದು ಭಯೋತ್ಪಾದಕರು ಭಯಪಡಿಸುವಂತಹ ಕಾನೂನುಬಾಹಿರ ಹಿಂಸಾಚಾರವಾಗಿದೆ. ಭಯೋತ್ಪಾದನೆ ಸಾಮಾನ್ಯ ಸಾಮಾಜಿಕ ಸಮಸ್ಯೆಯಾಗಿದೆ. ಸಾಮಾನ್ಯ ಸಾರ್ವಜನಿಕ ಮತ್ತು ಸರ್ಕಾರದ ಮೇಲೆ ಬೆದರಿಕೆ ಹಾಕಲು ಇದನ್ನು ಬಳಸಲಾಗುತ್ತದೆ. ಭಯೋತ್ಪಾದನೆಯನ್ನು ವಿವಿಧ ಸಾಮಾಜಿಕ ಸಂಸ್ಥೆಗಳು, ರಾಜಕಾರಣಿಗಳು ಮತ್ತು ವ್ಯಾಪಾರ ಕೈಗಾರಿಕೆಗಳು ತಮ್ಮ ಗುರಿಗಳನ್ನು ಸಾಧಿಸಲು ಬಹಳ ಸುಲಭವಾದ ರೀತಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಬಳಸುತ್ತಾರೆ.

ಭಯೋತ್ಪಾದನೆಯ ಬೆಂಬಲದೊಂದಿಗಿರುವ ಜನರ ಗುಂಪನ್ನು ಭಯೋತ್ಪಾದಕರು ಎಂದು ಕರೆಯಲಾಗುತ್ತದೆ. ಭಯೋತ್ಪಾದನೆಯನ್ನು ವಿವರಿಸುವುದು ತುಂಬಾ ಸುಲಭವಲ್ಲ ಏಕೆಂದರೆ ಅದು ತನ್ನ ಬೇರುಗಳನ್ನು ತುಂಬಾ ಆಳವಾಗಿ ಹರಡಿದೆ. ಭಯೋತ್ಪಾದಕರು ಯಾವುದೇ ನಿಯಮ ಮತ್ತು ಕಾನೂನು ಹೊಂದಿಲ್ಲ; ಅವರು ಸಮಾಜ ಮತ್ತು ದೇಶದಲ್ಲಿ ಭಯಾನಕ ವಾತಾವರಣ ರಚಿಸಲು ಮತ್ತು ಹೆಚ್ಚಿಸಲು ಉದ್ದೇಶಿಸಿ ಹಿಂಸಾತ್ಮಕ ಕಾರ್ಯಗಳನ್ನು ಮಾಡುತ್ತಾರೆ.
