Campaigners and politicians have expressed concern over the revelation that Hampshire Police handed more than 100 cautions for rape and other serious sexual offences in the past five years.
Crimes including sex with children under the age of 18 and incest were met by the force with police cautions — formal warnings that serve as an alternative to prosecution in minor cases — according to an investigation by the Hampshire Chronicle.Since 2014, Hampshire constabulary have cautioned four people for rape, and another six for serious sexual assaults including five counts which were carried out on children under the age of 16.
Another disclosure from the data, which was obtained via Freedom of Information requests, included that between 2011 and 2012 the police force handed out 18 cautions for sexual assaults.

Having lived in that area for some time I see the process. Cautions don't cost money. Prosecution along with jailing the criminals cost loads of money that is used as a Socialist control device. Welfare or "The Dole" as it's known in the UK. So in order to keep the lazy government dependent citizens doped up on cash, victims of real violent crimes are hung out to dry.
