| 单词 | entrapment |
| 释义 | entrapment entrapment encouraging a person to commit an offence to establish a prosecution. It is not a DEFENCE in English or Scots criminal law. However, the authorities should not commit crimes to trap the crim- inals: R v. Sang [1980] AC 402.In the USA there has long been established a defence of entrapment where undercover police positively promote a crime that would not otherwise have occurred: Sorells v. US 287 US 435; Sherman v. US 356 US 369. The defence will not, however, be competent where police- man have merely joined an illegal practice – for example, seeking to be supplied with heroin while in the company of drug addicts with the same purpose. |
