What is the difference between an entrapper and an agent provocateur?
What will be an ideal response?
An officer acting as an agent provocateur is within the limits of the law; an officer who goes too far and engages in entrapment is not. An agent provocateur will get involved with the criminal actions of a suspect who would have carried out his or her criminal activity even if the agent provocateur had never been involved, but an entrapper will induce a person to commit a crime that the person would not have or could not have committed without the officer's aid or involvement.
