6.2 Entrapment is a type of legal defense that is used when a person has been induced to commit a crime that they would not have otherwise committed. In some cases, a person may be tricked by law enforcement into committing a crime as part of an investigation or sting operation. The defense of entrapment is used to argue that the person would not have committed the crime if not for the involvement of law enforcement officers. There are two types of entrapment: subjective and objective. Subjective entrapment is based on the defendant's state of mind and relies on the defendant to prove that they were induced to commit the crime. Objective entrapment examines the conduct of police officers and relies on the defendant to show that the officer's conduct was so outrageous that it could not have been resisted.
