Police are giving leaflets to people at risk of committing child sexual exploitation crimes, asking for their behaviour to stop, the BBC has found.
The "C5 notices" - used by Hampshire Constabulary when there is not enough evidence to charge - explain the law to recipients.
They can appear in an enhanced DBS check, which critics say risks penalising innocent people.
The Hampshire force has is used the leaflets 54 times since their introduction in November 2016. It denied the scheme was a cost-cutting measure, and said a warning notice would only be disclosed during a DBS check if it was relevant to the request.
