The Condition of the Entrapment Defense in the Criminal Codes of America, France and Iran

The entrapment defense means that judicial authorities use some deception, chicanery and decoys to prove or induce a man to commit a crime in order to get him convicted. That’s sometimes the judicial authorities to explore offenses or convict persons with criminal records face blocks. Because using the traditional or common ways to explore or prove some crimes conclude no result in the legal duties of the judicial authorities. Hence they want to use the ways (although they are fulfilled in exploring or proving the offenses) which does not seem fair or logic according to the laws. Therefore the entrapment defense acts as a factor to the right of the victims in the two aspects and does not let the judicial authorities to use these acts. The investigation and explanation of these aspects determines the limitations and definitions of this defense which is new in the criminal law. Because the law is silent in this subject, judicial proceedings and our doctrine, it makes the attention of the legislator to focus on creating a complete and enough guarantee for it.
