There's very few tools available, so license suspensions have been just a general purpose tool to annoy people. In cases like child support, I think it probably does work to some extent. They have a ton of people that they think could pay, but are dragging their feet. Would you prefer send them straight to jail? BTW I take the extreme stance against almost all license sanctions. That said, I have to admit without them, and without the threat of jail, many crimes would have little deterrents. Same story IMO with criminal records and going after people's careers. We would need to develop creative new sanctions, and arguably should anyway; but I see no good ideas.
