/prɒvəˈkeɪʃən/ – Noun
Definition: sự khiêu khích, sự kích động, sự xúi giục, điều chọc tức.
A more thorough explanation: In legal terms, provocation refers to words or actions that are intended to incite or inflame another person to react in a way that may lead to a breach of the peace or a criminal act. It can be a mitigating factor in certain criminal cases, such as reducing a charge of murder to manslaughter if the defendant can show that they were provoked into committing the act.
Example: The defendant claimed that the victim’s actions constituted provocation, which led to the altercation.
