Which term describes luring a suspect to commit a crime by presenting a fake vulnerability in a controlled environment?

• A. Infiltration
• B. Deception
• C. Enticement
• D. Entrapment

Answer: (D)

Entrapment is about setting a trap where a deceptive vulnerability is presented in a controlled environment to induce someone to commit a crime. The core idea is that the opportunity is created by the investigator or authorities, and the person would not have acted without that inducement. Infiltration describes gaining unauthorized access to a system or group, not luring someone to commit a crime. Deception is a broad term for misleading actions but doesn’t necessarily involve inducing the crime itself in a trap. Enticement means tempting someone to commit a crime but doesn’t imply the trap or controlled setup created by authorities. So this scenario fits entrapping someone by fabricating a vulnerability and guiding them toward the criminal act.
