To answer your question: The person who carries out the crime will most likely still be punished in some way, even if there was a forced element to it. That being said, prosecutors/police like to work with these people in order to ultimately catch the bigger fish (the person who forced them to commit that crime.) In return they would give the person forced to do the crime a less harsh punishment like a shorter sentence. Hope this helps!
