Yes, a fourteen year old can be arrested and cautioned or charged in England. However, when you are taken to the police station you cannot be questioned with out a parent or legal guardian present, and you are entiled to free legal represetation during the inital interview by way of a duty brief. If convicted you will be sent to a Juvenile Young Offenders correction facility, as apposed to prison. Once over the age of 16 though, you are view as mature and reasoned enough to take responsibility for your actions and can be sent to prison if prosecuted. Yes, I believe that once your over 10 you can be sent to a young offenders prison/institute.
