End of cautions - good or bad?

Weve seen many times in these pages where youngsters accepted a police caution to save time rather than going to court and arguing the case.
Much later in life they were prevented from doing some jobs eg PCC because they had a caution.
Now they're replacing this form of summary justice with another, how will it work out later on?
Will the replacement punishments be deemed to be complete for the crime (whether or not youve actually commited it) and so not affect your later prospects?

the fact is CRB disclosures would have gone a long way to preventing what happened in Soham,

I'm pretty sure it's been written a number of times that CRB wouldnt have prevented Soham.
It was a knee jerk reaction at the time

accepting a caution requires admission of the offence , therefore you are guilty.

Well no.
Many people have admitted an offence and been locked up for it but if they havent done it they're not guilty of it
