We have Threaten All to Find One where collective punishment is threatened to force the troublemaker to confess. Per the laconic and some examples, actually going through with it seems to be covered as well.

That happens in Full Metal Jacket. It's listed on I Will Punish Your Friend for Your Failure.

What's the trope for the dirty tactic of an authority figure punishing everyone (say, a classroom of students) when one kid is the problem, with the intent of forcing the troublemaker to conform due to the scorn of his peers?
