A legal defense claiming police induced a person to commit a crime they were not predisposed to commit.

• A. Known Offender
• B. Incident Report
• C. Decoy Operations
• D. Entrapment

Answer: (D)

Entrapment is a defense based on police tactics that induce a person to commit a crime they would not have otherwise committed. The crucial idea is that the person lacked predisposition to commit the offense, and the action occurred mainly because law enforcement pressured or persuaded them to do it. If someone was already inclined to commit the crime or would have done it without police prompting, the defense typically doesn’t apply. Other options don’t describe this scenario: a known offender is simply a label about criminal history, an incident report is just a police document, and decoy operations are a policing method that can be legitimate or problematic depending on whether inducement actually occurred and whether predisposition existed. The situation described aligns with the entrapment defense.
