The Government is piloting a scheme to abolish police cautions and replace them with what it says are tougher new penalties.
Under the trial, three police forces will scrap the current system, which sees minor offences punished with formal warnings.
Those who commit minor offences could instead be asked to offer a written or verbal apology to the victim or make good by offering financial compensation or repairing any damage.
More serious offences for repeat offenders will be handed a suspended prosecution.
That means they could face court if they fail to comply with a set of conditions which could include paying a fine or attending a rehabilitation course.
Justice Secretary Chris Grayling said the system overhaul means offenders will no longer get away with the "soft option".
"Under the new system we are introducing, offenders will face prosecution if they fail to comply with the conditions set by the police, so that no one is allowed to get away with the soft option," he said.
Staffordshire, West Yorkshire and Leicestershire police forces will trial the system for 12 months.
If successful it is expected to be rolled out across England and Wales.
