 The concept of "collective liability" where more than one person can share liability and punishment for the actions of another person is not universally accepted and is considered by some to be a form of human rights abuse, while others believe it is just.The first usages of joint criminal enterprise doctrine are identified in post-World War II cases, in which the doctrine was used under the name common purpose (or joint enterprise), or without specific naming.However, the origins of the doctrine may be influenced by the Common Law of England, which introduced the principle into criminal law in the UK and other Commonwealth nations such as Australia.
