The term for being coerced into committing a crime is "entrapment".
The law enforcement officer doesn't necessarily need to deceive anyone for entrapment to occur. Any crime that results from an officer's initiative is considered entrapment.
Entrapment can be considered a legal defense. If the defense can convince the judge or jury that entrapment has occurred, the defendant will be acquitted of any charges.
