The Sensible Sentencing Trust (SST) was established in the early 2000s in response to wide spread public outrage and dissatisfaction at the consistently soft sentencing handed down, by a seemingly out-of-touch Judiciary, for vile crimes of violence and sexual offending in particular.
These include strengthening bail laws, bringing in the Three Strikes sentencing law and then fighting for its reinstatement when the last Labour Government removed it, and the victim compensation scheme paid for by offenders.
