entrapment
In criminal law, entrapment is a practice whereby a law enforcement agent induces a person to commit a criminal offense that the person would have otherwise been unlikely to commit.〔''Sloane'' (1990) 49 A Crim R 270. See also agent provocateur〕 It is a conduct that is generally discouraged and thus, in many jurisdictions, it's a possible defense against criminal liability.
Depending on the law in the jurisdiction, the prosecution may be required to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant was not entrapped or the defendant may be required to prove that they were entrapped as an affirmative defense.
Sting operations are fraught with ethical concerns over whether they constitute entrapment.〔Missouri Law Review, Volume 70, Issue 2, Spring 2005: Sting Operations, Undercover Agents, and Entrapment: by Bruce Hay http://scholarship.law.missouri.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=3652&context=mlr 〕
==Etymology and usage==
The word entrapment, from the verb "to entrap," meaning to catch in a trap, was first used in this sense in 1899〔(Online Etymology Dictionary )〕 in the United States Federal Court case of ''People v Braisted''.〔''People v Braisted'' (13 Colo. App. 532, 58 Pac. 796)〕〔(THE DEFENSE OF ENTRAPMENT IN THE FEDERAL COURTS LSTER B. ORFIELD )〕
