Cautions, the lowest form of criminal sanction, are given when an offender admits a crime but no punishment is imposed.

The figures, which add weight to The Sun's campaign against soft justice, were uncovered by Tory MP Philip Davies.

He said: "Nobody should be getting a caution for these serious offences, it is unacceptable."


He said they "fly in the face" of Justice Secretary Ken Clarke's assertion that too many people were going to prison.

Mr Davies added: "Most people would say there are not enough."


So they have got it rse about face then. The guilty plead guilty & get a slapped wrist & the innocent plead guilty & get time in the big house?
What's happening...

The Sun also freqently publishes stories about early teens mums with the equally young boyfriends, so I'm just wondering if the reason behind their apparently alarming statistic of 144 cautions for having sex with an underage girl is that all of the 144 were also underage

There are times where the police will offer a caution because there is not enough evidence to take it to trial. I sometimes think it might be a better idea to call their bluff and refuse the caution. At least if it did then go to trial you have more chance of appealing it than you ever would with a guilty plea.

A caution IS a criminal record.
