To engage in hypocrisy means to act in a way that is different from your stated beliefs.
Example:
A woman in the USA who was active in anti-gang programs and was considered an expert on gangs was secretly ACTUALLY the LEADER of a teen gang that committed dozens of home robberies and sold drugs. She was engaged in hypocrisy. She PRETENDED to be concerned with stopping gangs, but was ACTUALLY running a gang (probably only interested in stopping the competing gangs from making money on her turf.)
