Sippenhaft or Sippenhaftung (English: "kin liability") refers to the principle of families sharing the responsibility for a crime committed by one of its members. It is a form of collective punishment. A relative of the perpetrator could thus be punished in place or in addition to the perpetrator, depending on the circumstances. This legal principle is derived from Germanic law in the middle ages. It has been practiced in some countries until the modern age as well as in communist East Germany and on a larger scale in Nazi Germany towards the end of the World War II. The term "Haft" does not necessarily imply a prison sentence, but can refer to any form of punishment. The same principle is also found in many non-western cultures, including in Japan until the mid 19th century.
