Entrapment: In a security context, entrapment refers to the strategy of tempting an attacker to commit a crime in order to catch them in the act. Unlike enticement, which involves luring an already-intent attacker, entrapment can involve creating conditions that provoke an attack that might not otherwise have occurred. This strategy can be controversial and is carefully regulated in many jurisdictions to prevent abuse and maintain fairness.
