Aboriginal and Maori crime, prisoner, education rates charts
I wanted to find out how well Aboriginals in Australia and Maori in New Zealand do in school and society at large compared to European Whites.
USA
I made a chart of arrest rates by race in USA to have a comparison chart. FBI has some awesome crime tables, but it’s like they always either try to obscure the real numbers or are just not always good at showing clear data. Sometimes they only give the numbers in percentages in this case the table doesn’t have a Hispanic category.
Blacks in USA make up 13% of the population so you can see how they are doing overall.

Australia
Australian crime stats are divided into their 2 main ethnic groups. So they make a comparison with the population numbers easy.
In 30 June 2016 Australia had 798.365 Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islanders and 23.392.542 Non-Indigenous people. I included these population numbers in the chart to compare them to the prisoner population in Australia in 2019. The crime rates for Aboriginals look extreme, but the ethnic groups may not be exactly the same for the population vs. the prisoner rates.
Prisoners are asked about their ethnic group once they go to prison.
You can also look into education and job charts to see if the negative pattern is consistent and not just some specific environmental effect.
“Proportion of Year 3, 5, 7 and 9 students at or above the national minimum standards for writing, by remoteness area and Indigenous status, 2016”

Population:
New Zealand
New Zealand has a growing Maori population that has a hard/impossible time adapting to a modern world too.
Their prisoner rate is declared in “annual sentenced prisoner population”.
I also looked into the education levels to see if the effect was just some specific environment. The numbers are also here consistent in all areas of life.
This is the population numbers I used:
