Term: INCITEE
Definition: An incitee is someone who has been encouraged or persuaded to do something wrong, especially to commit a crime.
Definition: An incitee is a person who has been encouraged or provoked to commit a crime or engage in harmful behavior.
Example: If someone convinces their friend to steal a car with them, the friend who was convinced is the incitee.
Explanation: The incitee is not the person who came up with the idea to commit the crime, but rather the person who was influenced or persuaded to participate. They may have been coerced, threatened, or promised something in exchange for their involvement. The incitee is not necessarily innocent, but they may have been less likely to commit the crime without the influence of the inciter.
