Cannabis Cautioning Scheme in NSW: Summary
Cannabis Cautioning Scheme: NSW Police
BOCSAR Report. The Cannabis Cautioning Scheme Three Years On: An Implementation and Outcome Evaluation
The NSW Cannabis Cautioning Scheme commenced in April 2000 and gave police the discretion to formally caution rather than charge adults detected for minor cannabis offences. Cautioned offenders are provided with information about the consequences of cannabis use and access to treatment and support services. The Scheme was amended in September 2001 with the introduction of a mandatory education session for persons cautioned on a second occasion. This evaluation examines the implementation and outcomes of the Scheme, particularly since it was amended in September 2001.
