Entrapment is when a LEO induces a person to commit a crime that they were previously not disposed to commit. Therefore, if the person has shown no inclination to commit a crime, then it seems that coercion could be a subtype of entrapment.
However, when criminal informants are used rather than LEO's to perform the coercion, that wouldn't be entrapment .
