The Sensible Sentencing Trust is New Zealand’s most successful and influential organisation championing victim’s rights and wide-ranging reform to the criminal justice system.

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.
