There may be some tough questions as to exactly the line between expectation and consent. One helpful criterion is that consent, I think, involves an appropriate intention. One may brave a dangerous neighborhood expecting to be mugged and raped, but if one does not intend to be mugged or raped, one is not consenting. Whether intention is sufficient for consent is a harder question. I suspect the answer is negative. If a police officer works as bait for purse-snatchers, she intends that a thief take her purse, but it does not seem to me that she is consenting to it. If she were, it wouldn't be theft. (On an unrelated note, I have serious moral reservations against such actions. It seems hard to get away from the conviction that she intends to be robbed, and hence intends an evil, and this is wrong.)
