尽管存在类似罪行,新西兰毛利人第一次饮酒司机获得社区判刑的可能性是欧洲人的两倍以上。 Māori first-time drink drivers in New Zealand were over twice as likely to get community sentences as Europeans, despite similar offenses.

新西兰对2008年至2013年第一次酒后驾车犯罪者进行的一项研究发现,毛利人个人接受社区判决的可能性是新西兰欧裔人的两倍以上,尽管酒精水平和其他因素类似。 A New Zealand study of first-time drink-driving offenders from 2008 to 2013 found Māori individuals were more than twice as likely to receive community-based sentences as New Zealand Europeans, despite similar alcohol levels and other factors. 对10 000多起案件的分析表明,毛利人的罪犯年龄较小,更有可能成为父母或生活在贫困地区,受到这种判决的比率为9.9%,而欧洲人则为3.3%。 The analysis of over 10,000 cases showed Māori offenders, who were younger and more likely to be parents or live in deprived areas, received such sentences at a rate of 9.9% compared to 3.3% for Europeans. 在社区判刑司空见惯的地区法院,差异最大,这表明区域法院的做法加剧了不平等。 Disparities were greatest in district courts where community sentences were common, suggesting regional court practices amplify inequities. 调查结果使人们对判刑的公平性感到关切,并强调需要采取一致做法,确保各族裔群体的平等待遇。 The findings raise concerns about fairness in sentencing and highlight the need for consistent practices to ensure equitable treatment across ethnic groups.
