Report of the Special Rapporteur on the rights of Indigenous Peoples: The situation of Maori people in New Zealand, James Anaya (2011)

The report notes that Maori experience high levels of drug and alcohol abuse. It also mentions that Maori are incarcerated at a disproportionately high rate; however, it does not go into the reasons for this and whether sentences for drug offenses play a significant part. It also mentions new therapeutic programmes for re-entering prisoners, but doesn't say whether this includes drug treatment.
