<p>National guidance issued by the Director of Public Prosecutions for Adult Conditional
Cautions states that they are not considered suitable for offences involving hate
crime. However, there are rare cases when, because of the nature of the crime or the
circumstances of the offender, exceptionally a Conditional Caution could be considered.
Any such case considered suitable by the police for a Conditional Caution must be
referred to a prosecutor and cannot be issued without the expressed authorisation
of the Crown Prosecution Service.</p>
