The Mongrel Mob meth rehabilitation programme worked. But in New Zealand, looking tough on gangs matters more than reducing addiction.

As cocaine and meth use surge, critics argue New Zealand’s crime policies are failing to confront the real drivers of organised crime.
The gang problem in New Zealand is totally out of control. It is all pervasive and almost impossible to avoid. Unlike other problems like poverty, which the government has mainly managed to keep out of the rich areas, the gangs now infiltrate every suburb. It is time to identify them and replace welfare with warfare.
