Lures offenders, welcoming pressure (8)
I believe the answer is:
spinners
'lures' is the definition.
(spinner is a kind of lure)
'offenders welcoming pressure' is the wordplay.
'offenders' becomes 'sinners' (sinner is a kind of offender**).
'welcoming' indicates putting letters inside (in sense of 'inviting in').
'pressure' becomes 'p' (abbreviation).
'sinners' going around 'p' is 'SPINNERS'.
(Other definitions for spinners that I've seen before include "tops!" , "thread makers" , "Used to attract fish" , "These bowlers" , "maybe spiders" .)
