The FBI and state 40-year record

The FBI and Hawaii state crime series since the 1980s. A yearly, county-wide record for context, kept separate from the area record.

This is the long view: the FBI and Hawaii state crime series (often called UCR and NIBRS), going back to the 1980s. It is shown on the free Crime History page.

What it is, and when it begins

It is the long-run crime record from the FBI's Crime Data Explorer and Hawaii's state system, going back to the 1980s. It is yearly and county-wide, completely separate from the month-by-month area record.

What it can tell you

The shape of crime in Hawaii over several decades, useful for seeing whether a recent year sits high or low against the long run.

What it cannot tell you

Because it is yearly and county-wide, it cannot speak to a neighborhood or a month. It is never joined onto the neighborhood record and never graded. Where the FBI and state series disagree (they sometimes do, because they define things differently), both are shown and labeled by source.
