Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Entrapment is when law enforcement officers induce or persuade someone to commit a crime that they would not have otherwise committed, and who has no pre-existing disposition or intent to commit such a crime. The use of threats, intimidation, harassment, fraud, or any other type of coercion to induce someone to commit a crime can also constitute entrapment. In contrast, self-defense refers to using force to protect oneself from imminent harm, bribery involves offering or receiving something of value in exchange for a favor, and necessity refers to committing a crime in order to prevent greater harm or danger.
