Six data tables and two graphs present crime data for Hawaii and the United States from the Uniform Crime Reports (UCR). UCR data are limited to seven offenses (Index crimes) chosen in the UCR program because of their seriousness and frequency of occurrence as indicators of crime. These seven offenses, which are also grouped as violent or personal crimes and property crimes in some tables, are criminal homicide, forcible rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny-theft, and motor vehicle theft. A brief analysis of U.S. crime trends notes that from 1970 to 1979 the Nation's crime rate increase exceeded its population growth rate; crime rates of every Index crime also increased from 1978 to 1979. The crime rate for Hawaii during this period rose 37.5 percent, representing a two-fold difference over the State's 18.8 percent population growth for the decade. Other data tables provide population data and personal and property crime totals for selected years from 1970 to 1979 for selected areas in Hawaii. Overall, both Hawaii and the United States experienced gains in population and Index offenses. Population growth rate in Hawaii was 18.8 percent, well ahead of the U.S. growth rate of 8 percent. Index offenses advanced 63.4 percent in Hawaii, while nationwide Index offenses were up 50.1 percent. Further, higher incidences of property crime were reported in Hawaii than in the Nation, although US violent crime rates were 85 percent higher than Hawaii. Finally, crime rate increases on the Neighbor Island countries were greater than those of metropolitan Honolulu.
