A quick definition of enticement:
Enticement: When someone tries to persuade or tempt another person to do something wrong or against their will, it is called enticement. It can also refer to the historical legal offense of convincing a married person to leave their spouse without their consent.
A more thorough explanation:
Definition: Enticement is the act of persuading or tempting someone to do something wrong or illegal.
Example 1: A man offers a young girl candy to get into his car. This is an example of enticement because he is trying to lure her into a dangerous situation.
Example 2: A company offers a competitor's employee a higher salary to switch jobs and reveal confidential information. This is an example of enticement because the company is trying to wrongfully solicit the employee to do something that could harm their previous employer.
Explanation: Both examples illustrate the definition of enticement because they involve someone trying to persuade or lure another person into doing something that is not in their best interest or is illegal. In the first example, the man is trying to lure the young girl into his car, which could lead to harm or danger. In the second example, the company is trying to entice the employee to switch jobs and reveal confidential information, which is unethical and could harm the competitor.
