An agent provocateur (French for "inciting agent") is a person who commits, or who acts to entice another person to commit an illegal or rash act or falsely implicate them in partaking in an illegal act. An agent provocateur may be acting out of their own sense of duty or may be employed by the police or other entity to discredit or harm another group (e.g. a peaceful protest or demonstration) by provoking them to commit a crime - thus, undermining the protest or demonstration as a whole. A female agent or spy is called an ''agente provocatrice''. To prevent infiltration by agents provocateur,〔Stratfor (2004)〕 the organizers of large or controversial assemblies may deploy and coordinate demonstration marshals, also called stewards.〔Belyaeva et al. (2007), § 7–8, 156–162〕〔Bryan, Dominic ''(013/F0020001/art00005?crawler=true The Anthropology of Ritual: Monitoring and Stewarding Demonstrations in Northern Ireland )'', ''Anthropology in Action'', Volume 13, Numbers 1–2, January 2006, pp.22–31(10)〕 ==Common usage== An agent provocateur may be a police officer or a secret agent of police who encourages suspects to carry out a crime under conditions where evidence can be obtained; or who suggests the commission of a crime to another, in hopes they will go along with the suggestion and be convicted of the crime. A political organization or government may use agents provocateurs against political opponents. The provocateurs try to incite the opponent to do counter-productive or ineffective acts to foster public disdain—or provide a pretext for aggression against the opponent (see Red-baiting). Historically, labor spies, hired to infiltrate, monitor, disrupt, or subvert union activities, have used agent provocateur tactics. Agent provocateur activities raise ethical and legal issues. In common law jurisdictions, the legal concept of entrapment may apply if the main impetus for the crime was the provocateur. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「agent provocateur」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
