Define the concept of entrapment, and provide an example of an entrapment
The text explains the most significant aspect of entrapment: whether the government somehow placed the idea of committing the crime into the mind of the defendant, or whether the government simply made commission of the already intended crime more convenient. Any form of coaxing by the government to persuade the suspect to participate in a crime should be distinguished from, for example, merely making a purchase of contraband from a criminal.
