Scapegoating (from the verb to scapegoat) is the practice of singling out any party for unmerited negative treatment or blame as a scapegoat.
For example, when the members of a sports team blame a player who made a mistake for the loss of a match, though other aspects of play also affected the outcome. Or, when a girl or woman who alleges sexual assault is scapegoated by members of her community for causing trouble or ruining the life of her male attacker. Finally, and of most interest to sociologists, is the form of scapegoating that is group-on-group. This occurs when one group blames another for problems that the group collectively experiences, which might be economic or political in nature.
