For example Afro-Caribbean's are less likely to admit an offence and therefore make them ineligible for a caution. This also means that they are less likely to benefit from the discount for a guilty plea. (Flood-page and Mackie, 1998 cited in Davies et al, 1999, p.264) In their sentencing study based on 3,000 cases in 25 magistrates courts and 1,800
