A caution is this: the person is offered it at the police station after
the arrest, if the person accepts it, they are formally cautioned
(warned about their behavior) by a senior policeman, and then released
(no court appearance).

But by accepting the caution they are admitting to the crime, they are
not charged,and it is not a conviction, but the caution is on their
record for 5 years.

The thing is USCIS does not differentiate between a conviction and a
admittance of a crime.
