Preferred term

scapegoating  

Definition

  • Scapegoating is an extreme form of prejudice in which people blame an outgroup as intentionally having caused their own group's misfortunes, motivating harsh actions against the scapegoated group. Scapegoating explanations have been offered for events ranging from the execution of “witches” in early modern Europe to 20th-century genocides such as the Holocaust. [Source: Encyclopedia of Group Processes & Intergroup Relations; Scapegoating]
