Part 6: Cautions Section 108: Giving a community caution
Section 108 establishes the process and requirements for giving a community caution and sets out those requirements at subsection (2)(a) - (e). Those requirements are that an authorised person decides that there is sufficient evidence to charge the offender with the offence and that a community caution should be given to the offender, that the offender admits the offence and accepts the caution. The authorised person must explain to the offender the effect of the caution and non-compliance with the conditions attached to it. The offender must also sign a document that contains details of the offence, their admission to committing that offence, their consent to being given the caution and the conditions attached to that caution.
	Subsection (3) states that community cautions cannot be given in respect of offences committed before this provision comes into force. Subsection (4) makes it clear that the use of community cautions is subject to regulations made in relation to restricting multiple use of cautions.
