Table 4: Number of people convicted of methamphetamine offences, by court and most serious sentence, 2013 - 2022
This data counts a person once per calendar year. The court of their most serious methamphetamine conviction is counted.
Note that a person's sentence may by influenced by their previous offending history. As such, the people convicted and sentenced to imprisonment are likely to have an extensive conviction history, including previous imprisonment sentences and/or previous convictions for drug cultivation/manufacture/supply.
Please refer to Table 6b and Table 6d for information on the number of instances where people were convicted and sentenced to imprisonment for methamphetamine offences only and were not convicted and imprisoned for any other offence types on the same day.
For more information on how to interpret these figures, please read the definitions and data notes

Table 5: Number of people convicted of methamphetamine offences, by offence type and most serious sentence, 2013 - 2022
This data counts a person once per calendar year. Their most serious methamphetamine conviction is counted.
Note that a person's sentence may by influenced by their previous offending history. As such, the people convicted and sentenced to imprisonment are likely to have an extensive conviction history, including previous imprisonment sentences and/or previous convictions for drug cultivation/manufacture/supply.
Please refer to Table 6b and Table 6d for information on the number of instances where people were convicted and sentenced to imprisonment for methamphetamine offences only and were not convicted and imprisoned for any other offence types on the same day.
For more information on how to interpret these figures, please read the Definitions and data notes.
Back to Contents page
Example Interpretation: In 2022, 18 people whose most serious methamphetamine conviction was for importing or exporting illicit drugs, were sentenced to imprisonment.

Instances per year A person is counted once per charge outcome date per financial year. The details of their most serious offence are included in the statistics. A person may have several instances in the same
year.
Most serious offence A range of information is used to determine which charge is a person's most serious in a year. This includes information such as charge outcome, sentence type, sentence length/amount,
remands in custody and bail and maximum offence penalties.
Charge outcome The outcome of a prosecution - whether a person is convicted or not:
- proved outcomes (where a person is found to be, or pleads, guilty) include 'convicted' and 'other proved' (Youth Court proved (s283 order), Discharge without conviction and Adult
diversion/Youth Court discharge, Proven but not criminally responsible on account of insanity).
- not proved outcomes include the person being found not guilty and where the charge is withdrawn or dismissed.
- other charge outcomes include being found not guilty by reason of insanity, unfit to stand trial or stay of proceedings ordered.

Sentence A person may receive more than one type of sentence when convicted of a charge. The most serious sentence is used in these tables. Sentences include (in order of seriousness):
- imprisonment (includes life imprisonment, preventive detention and imprisonment)
- community sentences (home detention, community detention, intensive supervision, community work, supervision)
- monetary (includes reparation, fine and order for restitution of property)
- deferment (which includes 'to come up for sentence if called upon')
- other (includes orders related to driving (eg disqualification from driving, alcohol interlock order, zero alcohol order, attend driving course), orders related to forfeiture and confiscation (eg
forfeiture, confiscation of motor vehicle, prohibition of interest in motor vehicle, destruction of animal), Final Protection Order (Sentencing Act), Child Protection Register, and 'committed to a
facility on conviction')
- no sentence recorded (includes where a person has been 'convicted and discharged' and where a person has been ordered to pay court costs).

Gender, ethnicity and age Gender, ethnicity and age information originate from Police.
'Multiple ethnicity' information is used in this table. This means for each ethnicity a person is counted once per year (eg they may be counted in both European and Māori). As some people
have multiple recorded ethnicities this will result in the sum of ethnicities being greater than the total number of people each year. In some instances, ethnicity information is not recorded by
Police, such as when the process for charging people involves a summons. Ethnicity information is also not recorded when a charge is prosecuted by an agency other than Police, Crown Law or
Corrections (e.g. Inland Revenue, Ministry of Social Development, and Ministry of Primary Industries).
Age is the person's age at the offence date of their most serious offence each year.
A small number of records in the Ministry of Justice database are missing some details. Blank or missing details are labelled as Unknown.

Court location The court location is the location of the court where the final court hearing was held (eg Wellington District Court is recorded as Wellington). For charges that are convicted this is usually the
court where the sentence is imposed. For other types of charge outcome this is usually the court where the charge outcome was decided.

Justice service areas Justice service areas are geographical groupings of individual court locations for administrative purposes.  A list of courts within each justice service area can be found on the justice service area page. This also includes information on courts that have closed.Prior to Jun

Values of - and 0 Where information is not existing for a measure (eg Balclutha Court from 2014 onwards when it was closed) a dash (-) is used in the tables.
A count of zero is represented by a numerical 0.
Where a percentage value is 0% it is shown as 0%, where it is between 0% and 0.49% it is shown as <1%, and where it is between 0.5% and 1% it is shown as 1%.
