    • The Concept of Entrapment 

      Hill, Daniel J.; McLeod, Stephen K; Tanyi, Attila (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-08-23)
      Our question is this: What makes an act one of entrapment? We make a standard distinction between <i>legal entrapment</i>, which is carried out by parties acting in their capacities as (or as deputies of) law-enforcement agents, and <i>civil entrapment</i>, which is not. We aim to provide a definition of entrapment that covers both and which, for reasons we explain, does not settle questions of ...

    • Entrapment 

      Hill, Daniel J.; McLeod, Stephen K; Tanyi, Attila (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023)
      The word ‘entrapment’ has three common usages in legal discourse. First, it is used in connection with acts of entrapment: it applies, at least, to a class of acts in which a party, whom we call the ‘agent’, intentionally brings it about that another party, whom we call the ‘target’, performs a distinct act that is of a criminal type. Secondly, it is used to refer to a method of proactive law ...

    • Entrapment, Temptation, and Virtue Testing 

      Hill, Daniel J.; McLeod, Stephen K.; Tanyi, Attila (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2022-01-06)
      We address the ethics of scenarios in which one party (the ‘agent’) entraps, intentionally tempts, or intentionally tests the virtue of another (the ‘target’). We classify, in a new manner, three distinct types of acts that are of concern, namely acts of entrapment, of (mere) intentional temptation and of (mere) virtue testing. Our classification is, for each kind of scenario, of itself neutral ...

    • Policing, Undercover Policing and ‘Dirty Hands’: The Case of State Entrapment 

      Tanyi, Attila Geza; McLeod, Stephen K; Hill, Daniel J. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2024)
      Under a ‘dirty hands’ model of undercover policing, it inevitably involves situations where whatever the state agent does is morally problematic. Christopher Nathan argues against this model. Nathan’s criticism of the model is predicated on the contention that it entails the view, which he considers objectionable, that morally wrongful acts are central to undercover policing. We address this criticism, ...

    • What is the incoherence objection to legal entrapment? 

      Tanyi, Attila; McLeod, Stephen K; Hill, Daniel J. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-05-27)
      Some legal theorists say that legal entrapment to commit a crime is incoherent. So far, there is no satisfactorily precise statement of this objection in the literature: it is obscure even as to the type of incoherence that is purportedly involved. (Perhaps consequently, substantial assessment of the objection is also absent.) We aim to provide a new statement of the objection that is more precise ...
