It is illegal for a law enforcement officer to coerce a person to commit a crime, through great pressure or overbearing/behaviorally-dominant actions.

Entrapment is: to encourage the conduction of a crime which would have otherwise been not committed by that individual.

The mere act of entrapment may invalidate an entire criminal charge as well as bring into question the ethicality of the investigation and individual officers.

Example of a police sting:
The police put a box in front of a house to catch people stealing mail, and then are charging them with mail theft.
Example of a police sting with entrapment:
The police put a box full of drugs in front of a house to catch people stealing mail, and then are charging them with mail theft and drug trafficking.
