Concept information

Preferred term

collective punishment  

Definition(s)

  • Collective Responsibility Collective responsibility is to be contrasted with individual responsibility. Here, we shall be focusing on the debate concerning collective moral responsibility rather than any legal significance of the term because Western legal systems primarily regard individual humans as the proper subjects before the law.
