Hate Crimes in Hawaii, 2022

Abstract

Hawaii Revised Statutes §846-51 through §846-54 require the Department of the Attorney General to develop, direct, and report annually on a statewide hate crime statistics reporting program. With input and assistance from Hawaii’s county prosecuting attorneys and police departments, the state program was launched on January 1, 2002. This annual report covers hate crime cases that reached a final disposition during Calendar Year 2022. Ten cases were reported to the program for this time period; details appear on page 3. In addi tion, the Honolulu Department of the Prosecuting Attorney reported three additional cases that should have been submitted for the prior year (CY 2021). Twenty-one-year summary statistics are also included.
