http://news.sky.com/story/1206930/criminals-to-be-forced-to-pay-own-court-costs Criminals will be forced to pay for the costs of taking them to court as part of a criminal justice overhaul which includes a number of tough new measures. The move will mean offenders will be billed for some of the cost of prosecuting them once they have been convicted.
