Abstract: The report is prepared by the Management and Administrative Statistics division of the Hawaii Criminal Justice Statistical Analysis Center. Information was obtained through questionnaires. Data on the police for 1976-79 indicate a number of trends. For example, the number of police officers remained about the same despite population increases, while the number of civilian personnel tended to drop. The number of man hours and police vehicles increased slightly. Overall expenditures amounted to $50,991,898 for 1978-79, and the per capita expenditures have gone from $60.18 in 1976-77 to $55.75 in 1978-79. Counties have provided the largest portion (up to 98 percent) of police funds. The number of service calls increased in most categories over the period reported. According to the data on the four prosecutorial departments total personnel increased from 77 to 86 over the 3-year period. Total expenditures increased consistently to $2,061,511 in 1978-79. The State average of filings per attorney decreased during fiscal 1978-79 from 499.1 to 466 filings, in part because of the increase in personnel. Data on the judiciary show that the number of judges and of support personnel increased, and expenditures rose 8 percent to $15,843,976. The average probation officer's caseload increased 13.9 percent to 26.3 cases. According to corrections statistics, the number of authorized positions increased in 1978-79 by 12 percent over 1977-78, but only 78.5 percent of the positions were filled. Corrections expenditures for 1978-79 were $10,780,004, 21 percent higher than 1977-78. The prison occupancy rate increased to 92.2 percent of the available bedspace, up from 86.3 percent in 1977-78. Extensive tables are supplied.
