Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Entrapment occurs when law enforcement officials induce a person to commit a crime they would not have otherwise committed. In this scenario, the officer posing as a customer did not suggest or encourage the criminal act; the prostitute approached the officer with the intent to commit the crime independently.
