This instruction specifically relates to cases involving agency, as defined in Section 2 of Title 18 of the United States Code (USC). Aiding and abetting, also known as accomplice liability, is a legal doctrine that holds individuals accountable for participating in the commission of a crime, even if they did not directly commit the offense themselves.

An agent, in this context, refers to someone acting on behalf of another person, such as an employee acting on behalf of their employer or a representative acting on behalf of an organization. The instruction aims to clarify that if an agent assists or encourages another person in committing a crime, both the agent and the principal (the person on whose behalf the agent acted) can be held criminally responsible for the offense. The key element in these cases is the connection between the agent's acts and the commission of the offense by the principal.
