A criminal behaviour order CBO can be handed to individuals who persistently engage in criminal activity and anti-social behaviour. A CBO is only made in addition to a sentence that has already been enforced or if the individual has already received a conditional discharge an order made by the court ruling that the offender will not be sentenced unless a further offence is committed. The order will last between one and two years for under 18s and those aged 18 years or over will receive the order for a minimum of two years.

Community remedy is an out of court alternative to dealing with less serious crimes such as criminal damage, theft and minor assaults.
It involves victims and members of the community working together to agree a positive solution to a crime. This can include the offender apologising to the victim, repairing any damage done or seeking advice about their behaviour.
To receive a community remedy resolution, the offender must admit guilt and agree to the resolution. A Youth Related Diversion is a step up from a community remedy and sees offenders undertake a number of sessions with a specialist advisor from the Youth Offenders Service YOS.

The issuing authority will ask the individual to sign the penalty notice ticket and assuming the penalty is paid, it will not result in a criminal conviction. There is a facility which allows the Police to record these other cautions on the PNC and refer to them in the future.
