The concept which springs to mind is entrapment: if they convinced a guy to commit the crime, doesn't that qualify? I mean at that point he's working as an agent of law enforcement.

Gideon is the one being entrapped (or not, I don't know the law around this). I'm specifically talking about the treatment of Frank, who appears to have been coerced into helping to catch Gideon.
