Pennsylvania: According to records released by the Administrative Office of the Pennsylvania Courts, the last five years have seen a 7% drop in criminal cases and a 5% increase in court collections. Of the increased percentage of collections, Chief Justice Ronald Castille said, "County officials are effectively using a variety of methods to improve collections. These methods include the use of outside collection agencies and automated tools built into the judiciary’s criminal case management systems, including providing information to PennDOT for suspension of driver’s licenses of defendants failing to pay court costs related to traffic violations."[1]
