Justice Reinvestment in HawaiiOverview
There is consensus among policymakers in Hawaii that the state needs to reduce its dependence on out-of-state prisons, where, as of 2011, approximately one-third of the state’s adult prison population is housed. At the same time, state leaders are determined to reduce vio-lent crime, which, like the state prison population, has increased significantly over the last decade.
Governor Neil Abercrombie, Chief Justice Mark Reck-tenwald, Senate President Shan Tsutsui, House Speaker Calvin Say and Department of Public Safety Director Jodie Maesaka-Hirata seek to employ a data-driven justice reinvestment strategy to bring out-of-state prisoners back to Hawaii, reduce spending on corrections, and rein-vest savings generated in strategies that would reverse recent crime trends.
To this end, they sought assistance from the Bureau of Justice Assistance, a division of the U.S. Department of Justice, and the Pew Center on the States. The state leaders agreed to establish a bipartisan, inter-branch Justice Reinvestment Working Group comprising leading state and local officials which would receive inten-sive technical assistance from the Council of State Governments Justice Center, in partnership with the Pew Center on the States. The CSG Justice Center will assist the working group in analyzing data and developing a comprehensive set of policy options.
June 2011
Property crime has declined, but violent crime has increased.
• Hawaii’s violent crime rate was relatively low in 2009, at 275 reported incidents per 100,000 residents, which ranks it thirty-fifth among the states. This crime rate, however, is up from what it was in 2000. Hawaii was one of only twelve states to experience an increase in violent crime rates during this period.1
• Violent crime increases were driven by a significant rise in the reported rape rate, up five percent from 2000, and aggravated assaults, up 37 percent from 2000. Murder and robbery rates dropped by 38 percent and 14 percent, respectively.2
• During the same period, the number of arrests for reported rape offenses relative to the number of offenses fell by 30 percent. In 2009, the Honolulu Police Department estimated the department has a backlog of somewhere between 143 and 203 sexual assault kits left unexamined.3
• Between 2000 and 2009, the property crime rate dropped 26 percent in Hawaii, from 4,9554 to 3,6615 reported crimes per 100,000 residents. Despite this decline, Hawaii’s property crime rate remains above the national average; it is the twelfth highest in the nation.6

Justice Reinvestment in HawaiiOverview
There is consensus among policymakers in Hawaii that the state needs to reduce its dependence on out-of-state prisons, where, as of 2011, approximately one-third of the state’s adult prison population is housed. At the same time, state leaders are determined to reduce vio-lent crime, which, like the state prison population, has increased significantly over the last decade.
Governor Neil Abercrombie, Chief Justice Mark Reck-tenwald, Senate President Shan Tsutsui, House Speaker Calvin Say and Department of Public Safety Director Jodie Maesaka-Hirata seek to employ a data-driven justice reinvestment strategy to bring out-of-state prisoners back to Hawaii, reduce spending on corrections, and rein-vest savings generated in strategies that would reverse recent crime trends.
To this end, they sought assistance from the Bureau of Justice Assistance, a division of the U.S. Department of Justice, and the Pew Center on the States. The state leaders agreed to establish a bipartisan, inter-branch Justice Reinvestment Working Group comprising leading state and local officials which would receive inten-sive technical assistance from the Council of State Governments Justice Center, in partnership with the Pew Center on the States. The CSG Justice Center will assist the working group in analyzing data and developing a comprehensive set of policy options.
June 2011
Property crime has declined, but violent crime has increased.
• Hawaii’s violent crime rate was relatively low in 2009, at 275 reported incidents per 100,000 residents, which ranks it thirty-fifth among the states. This crime rate, however, is up from what it was in 2000. Hawaii was one of only twelve states to experience an increase in violent crime rates during this period.1
• Violent crime increases were driven by a significant rise in the reported rape rate, up five percent from 2000, and aggravated assaults, up 37 percent from 2000. Murder and robbery rates dropped by 38 percent and 14 percent, respectively.2
• During the same period, the number of arrests for reported rape offenses relative to the number of offenses fell by 30 percent. In 2009, the Honolulu Police Department estimated the department has a backlog of somewhere between 143 and 203 sexual assault kits left unexamined.3
• Between 2000 and 2009, the property crime rate dropped 26 percent in Hawaii, from 4,9554 to 3,6615 reported crimes per 100,000 residents. Despite this decline, Hawaii’s property crime rate remains above the national average; it is the twelfth highest in the nation.6
