I believe the answer is:

scapegoat

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">patsy</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for scapegoat that I've seen before include "I'll take the blame" , "Whipping boy" , "One made to take blame" , "One taking blame for others" , "One picked on as victim" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and the Sydney Morning Herald.
