Group absolution is a theory that assists in explaining how individuals bring themselves to commit acts of violence when they become part of a group. It is a simultaneous sense of accountability and anonymity, in which, one is accountable to one’s comrades and anonymous in terms of responsibility for the group’s conduct.
