  • Further Breakdowns of Cautions
    Statistical Notice Further breakdowns of cautions 30 September 2013 Background This ad-hoc statistical notice presents additional analysis on the use of adult cautions, and has been produced as supporting evidence for the Adult Simple Cautions Review. It provides further breakdowns of already published information on cautions in the format of: Indictable only offences: these offences are the most serious breaches of the criminal law such as violent and sexual offences and robbery, which are ordinarily tried at the Crown Court before a judge and jury. Triable either way offences: these offences include criminal damage where the value is £5,000 or greater, theft, burglary and drink driving and may be heard either at a magistrates’ court or tried at the Crown Court. Summary offences: These offences include common assault and criminal damage up to £5,000 and are usually heard only by a magistrates’ court. A simple caution can be administered when there is sufficient evidence to provide a realistic prospect of a conviction but it is not considered to be in the public interest to institute criminal proceedings. It aims to divert offenders away from court, and to reduce the likelihood that they will offend again. Cautions are intended for low level, often first time, offending. Additionally, the offender must admit guilt and consent to a caution in order for one to be given. The offender will be officially warned about the unacceptability of their behaviour, that the simple caution forms part of their criminal record and may be disclosed, and the likely consequences of committing further crimes will be explained.

The broad division of crimes is substantially in the accuracy of their largely described by the practical grounds of measurements. In some cases it is possible the separation into the indictable, where the to be confident that the figures give a accused always has the right to trial by jury, precise indicator of what they purport to be and the non-indictable offences, which were measuring: in others it is accepted that they disposed of summarily by magistrates can only offer approximations. As always, without a jury.
