Entrapment can be used as a legal defense in the court- True or False?
True
False
When law enforcement persuades or "lures" someone into committing a crime that he/she otherwise would not commit, it is known as Entrapment. It can serve as a legal defense. Entrapment, by definition is "a law-enforcement officer's or government agent's inducement of a person to commit a crime, by means of fraud or undue persuasion, in an attempt to later bring a criminal prosecution against that person." [Black's Law Dictionary, 7th Ed]- What this means is that entrapment can only be used as a defense to avoid a conviction. You will not be prosecuted for 'entrapment.' Rather, entrapment is a defense to a criminal prosecution.
