The measures are intended to deal with low level crime
Police can use the measures where offenders are willing to accept responsibility, apologise or clean up damage.that at least 1,000 sex offenders avoided criminal records over the past two years by apologising to their victims.
The report adds that some of the sexual offences may have occurred between consenting underage children. The incident is recorded as a crime, but police forces believe it would be too severe to take a teenager to court for punishment. “Justice solutions such as these minimise the severity of sexual violence and its impact on survivors and fail to acknowledge the inherent power dynamics at play in these types of crimes.
“This could include a simple apology, an offer of compensation or a promise to clear up any graffiti or criminal damage.”
