An agent provocateur (French for "provoking or inciting agent") is a person who incites another person to commit an illegal or rash act or who falsely implicates them in partaking in an illegal act, so as to ruin tbe reputation or cause legal action against tbe target or a group he belongs to.
In some cases, tbe person provoked may be able to prove entrapment, whereby a law enforcement agent induces a person to commit a criminal offense that tbe person would have otherwise been unlikely or unwilling to commit, using this as a defense against criminal iiability. However, in a sting operation, a deceptive operation designed to catch a person committing a crime, tbe deception is often not considered to have risen to tbe level of entrapment.
Agent provocateurs have notably been used during demonstrations or other public gatherings, such as by anti-union agent provocateurs.
