What would you call one who is involved in a crime?
It depends on whether they think the person is part of the crime as well. If they do, then the person is called an accomplice... someone who helped the suspect commit the crime.

Who must be involved in an alleged crime for the defense of entrapment to be used successfully?
Entrapment is an affirmative defense to most criminal charges stemming from a law enforcement officer or agent of a law enforcement agency inducing the alleged defendant into committing a crime that he would not otherwise commit. The person who lures into person into the crime must be involved for the crime to commit.Another View: (In US criminal law) A person is 'entrapped' when they are induced (i.e.: "egged on") or persuaded by law enforcement officers or their agents to commit a crime that they had no previous intent to commit.However, there is no entrapment when that person is ready and willing to break the law and the government agents merely provide what appears to be an opportunity for them to commit it.

I know of one case where a woman discovered she was with a drug dealer. She took her stuff and walked to the bus station and caught a bus. The law left her alone.) It depends on what you knew and when you knew it and what you did about it.
