Option #1: Entrapment

Entrapment can become an issue in cases where the government/law enforcement utilizes undercover officers, as is often done in drug cases. Describe the two tests for entrapment (subjective and objective). How can the government avoid entrapment issues in undercover narcotics investigations? Be sure to consider case law and any recent research in this area of entrapment, as well as how investigations are conducted. Support and justify your opinions with credible sources.

Submit a 3-4 page paper (not including the title and reference pages). Cite 3-5 references in the assignment, at least two of which are peer-reviewed articles. Format your paper according to the CSU-Global Guide to Writing and APA Requirements.

Remember, you must support your thinking, opinions, and prior knowledge with references; all facts must be supported. In-text references used throughout the paper must be included in an APA-formatted reference list.
