Abstract
It was designed to assess the impact of new guidelines on police cautioning, issued to chief constables in the form of Home Office Circular 14/1985, and to provide a more general review of police cautioning in England and Wales. Inter- and intra-force variations in cautioning rates, policy, and practice are described and some suggestions made about how a more uniform approach to cautioning might be achieved. 20 references.
