Crime and Disorder Act 1998 (Youth Conditional Cautions: Code of Practice) Order 2009

I do not think that it is possible to do anything in terms of young people, and I am not sure that the noble Earl would want that. We are prevented from naming the young person involved. All we can say is that "a young person" received a youth conditional caution, which would not assist anyone. For adults, I suppose that it would be possible to publish the names of people who had not been prosecuted but who were subject to a conditional caution. I understand that they would be rehabilitated within three months of that caution in any event. Again, I suppose that it would be possible, in theory at least, for such a caution to be mentioned in a local newspaper, but I am not sure that that is what we want.
