Any suggestions anyone???
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'>What is your reaction to the rise in cautions for rape?
The number of rapists given a caution and freed instead of facing jail terms has more than doubled in the past decade, Home Office figures reveal.
The Home Office said cautions were used only in the most exceptional cases, but campaign group Rape Crisis said it was "shocked" by the statistics. Cautions might be used in historic cases where the rapist is old, but the victim wants the crime acknowledged.
Should cautions ever be given in such cases? How can rape be tackled? Do government campaigns make a difference?
