I, personally, find it works well enough to be a valid practice in Sweden as well
I personally find it works well enough to be a valid practice in the United States. I can see the argument(s) made against it but in the long run I still think a lot of bad people will get taught.

This word "entrapment" reminds me of a "Cops" episode I saw a few years ago in which a tractor trailer was deliberately, and temporarily abandoned by its driver(an undercover police officer) in a low income neighborhood of a major metropolitan city...and with the trailer door closed but NOT locked. Other undercover detectives watched with binoculars as people opened, then entered the trailer, which was loaded with boxes of new DVD players, presumably to steal them. More police officers waiting in a hidden compartment in the trailer would pop out and quickly arrest those trying to make off with the electronics.

My first thought after watching this: what kind of dent do the police make on the war on crime when they have to create a condition in order to increase the chances of crime itself happening? To me this whole episode of "Cops" smacked of entrapment... confuzed
