Limited research with real victims (as opposed to decoys) has indicated that more overt forceful threats are employed by offenders in such interaction; however, they tell us little about how these threats are built up and managed by both parties. Furthermore, the majority of research focuses on female victims, with limited attention paid to male victims. The current study presents a discursive psychology analysis of chat logs between one offender (posing as a teenage girl) and five male victims under the age of 16\u00a0years, in order to explore how victims attempt to resist such manoeuvres\n                    <jats:italic>in situ<\/jats:italic>\n                    , and how offenders manage such resistance. The sexualized nature evidenced in our data contrasts with other findings which suggest that boys are not sexually solicited and that interactions with boys are less aggressive and forceful. Our findings demonstrate for the first time how an offender escalated his issuing of threats following victims\u2019 resistance and non\u2010compliance to requests. Turning points that appeared odd in the online interactions suggest that they may be used to encourage children to be more reflective about any further engagement.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/bjso.12437","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,22]],"date-time":"2021-01-22T18:38:42Z","timestamp":1611340722000},"page":"988-1011","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":27,"title":["A discursive analysis of compliance, resistance and escalation to threats in sexually exploitative interactions between offenders and male children"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"60","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1213-9160","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sarah","family":"Seymour\u2010Smith","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Social Sciences Nottingham Trent University UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8342-7880","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Juliane A.","family":"Kloess","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Applied Psychology, School of Psychology University of Birmingham Birmingham UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1089\/cyber.2016.0625"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.chiabu.2014.12.004"},{"issue":"1","key":"e_1_2_9_4_1","first-page":"103","article-title":"Online grooming: Moves and strategies","volume":"4","author":"Chiang E.","year":"2017","journal-title":"Language and Law"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/applin\/amy007"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_6_1","first-page":"1","volume-title":"Conversation analysis","author":"Clift R.","year":"2016"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1461445610370126"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/13552600601069414"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/08351810802028613"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.chiabu.2018.03.026"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/14789949.2017.1291707"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0261927X94133001"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_13_1","first-page":"15","volume-title":"Identities in talk","author":"Edwards D.","year":"1998"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_14_1","series-title":"Inquiries in social constructionism","first-page":"1","volume-title":"Discursive psychology","author":"Edwards D.","year":"1992"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_15_1","first-page":"1","article-title":"Online interactions involving suspected paedophiles who engage male children","volume":"403","author":"Grosskopf A.","year":"2010","journal-title":"Trends & Issues in Crime and Criminal Justice"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_16_1","first-page":"1","volume-title":"Characterising paedophile conversations on the Internet using online grooming","author":"Gupta A.","year":"2012"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_17_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1348\/014466610X500791"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_18_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/CBO9780511611216.001"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_19_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/08351813.2012.646685"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_20_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/CBO9781139045414.013"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_21_1","first-page":"1","volume-title":"Sexual Offences Act 2003","author":"Home Office","year":"2003"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_22_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/1068316X.2017.1293052"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_23_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1079063217720927"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_24_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1079063215612442"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_25_1","first-page":"415","volume-title":"The handbook of conversation analysis","author":"Lee S.
