  • Hawaii Juvenile Justice Working Group Final Report
    Hawaii Juvenile Justice Working Group Final Report December 13, 2013 Summary Over the last decade, Hawaii has made commendable improvements in its juvenile justice system. Juvenile arrests fell 28 percent,1 and the number of youth annually admitted to the Hawaii Youth Correctional Facility (HYCF) declined 41 percent.2 With declining juvenile arrests and fewer youth being removed from their homes, Hawaii has been headed in the right direction. Building on its success, the state should aspire to continual improvements. In order to keep heading in the right direction and to further the gains, youth-serving agencies—the Judiciary, the Office of Youth Services (OYS), and the Department of Health, Child and Adolescent Mental Health Division (CAMHD)— all agree that resources are needed to fully develop an effective continuum of services in Hawaii’s communities. The current resources and means of accessing services allow youth to fall through the cracks. Additional resources for these youth would not only further reduce the number of commitments to HYCF and the detention home, but also help strengthen youth, families, and communities. While fewer in number, the youth who are committed to HYCF are staying longer. More youth enter HYCF for misdemeanors than felonies; more enter for property, drug and other nonviolent offenses than for person offenses; and nearly half have no prior felony adjudications. Each bed at HYCF costs state taxpayers $199,320 per year.3 Three-quarters of the youth who leave HYCF will be re-adjudicated delinquent or reconvicted within three years.4 While taking steps in the right direction, Hawaii should get better outcomes from the high costs of HYCF.

EFFECTS OF TOURISM ON RATES OF SERIOUS CRIME IN HAWAI`I Prepared for Use of the Hawai`i State Department of the Attorney General, Crime Prevention and Justice Assistance Division (Portion of a report originally prepared for the Project, “ Planning for Sustainable Tourism in Hawai`i,” under the auspices of the Hawai`i State Department of Business, Economic Development & Tourism) Prepared by: John M. Knox & Associates, Inc. April 2004 ________________________________________________ 1001 Bishop St., ASB Tower 1542 Honolulu, Hawai`i 96813 USA Phone (808) 523-1352 Fax (808) 523-1353 E-Mail [email protected] Effects of Tourism on Rates of Serious Crime in Hawai`i April 2004 INTRODUCTORY COMMENT This study was originally one chapter in a larger report entitled “Socio-Cultural Impacts of Tourism in Hawai`i: Impacts on the General Population.” That report was Volume II of the Public Input and Socio-Cultural Component for the Project “Planning for Sustainable Tourism in Hawai`i,” sponsored by the Hawai`i State Department of Business, Economic Development, & Tourism (DBEDT). The original report was completed in 2003. Because of frequent requests about the effects of tourism on crime in Hawai`i, the Crime Prevention and Justice Assistance Division of the Department of the Attorney General asked if it could be repackaged as a “stand-alone” report for their use and distribution. This stand-alone version has been somewhat updated. That is, the original contained information about crime, tourism, and most other topics from 1975 through 2001. We are now able to report figures for crime and most other topics through 2002.

Nishihara, Chair Senator Glenn Wakai, Vice Chair and Senate Committee on Judiciary Senator Karl Rhoads, Chair Senator Glenn Wakai, Vice Chair Tuesday, March 19, 2019, 10:30 AM State Capitol, Conference Room 016 WRITTEN TESTIMONY ONLY by Calvin Ching Deputy Chief Court Administrator First Circuit Court Bill No. and Title: House Bill No. 1383 House Draft 2, Relating to Marijuana. Purpose: Decriminalizes the possession of 3 grams or less of marijuana and establish that the possession is an infraction punishable by a monetary fine of $200. Provides for the dismissal of criminal charges, and expungement of criminal records, pertaining solely to the possession of 3 grams or less of marijuana. Establishes a marijuana evaluation task force to make recommendations on changing marijuana use penalties and outcomes in the State. Effective 1/11/2084. (HB1383 HD2) Judiciary's Position: The Judiciary takes no position on the merits of House Bill No. 1383; however, we have a few concerns. House Bill No. 1383 HD2, Relating to Marijuana Senate Committee on Public Safety, Intergovernmental and Military Affairs Senate Committee on Judiciary Tuesday, March 19, 2019 10:30 AM Page 2 1. The Judiciary has concerns with Section 2 of the bill, which would create a separate process for marijuana infractions. The Judiciary believes that the purpose of this bill may be achieved using the current system of adjudicating penal offenses. Hawaiʻi Revised Statutes (HRS) Section 701-107 (5) Grades and classes of offenses provides that: (5) An offense defined by this Code or by any other statute of this State constitutes a violation if it is so designated in this Code or in the law defining the offense or if no other sentence than a fine, or fine and forfeiture or other civil penalty, is authorized upon conviction or if it is defined by a statute other than this Code, which provides that the offense shall not constitute a crime.

It is particularly appropriate that a volume on Hawaiians of Korean ancestry should appear at this time, for in recent years the university has grown to a position of leadership in Korean studies, and planning is underway for the establishment of a Korean Center. Moreover, during the long period of colonial status, Hawaii served as a rallying point for a major segment of the Korean liberation movement. The first generation of Korean immigrants who sustained that movement here are now passing on, and Mr. Gardner's efforts have come at a moment when their experience and efforts can still be appraised on a firsthand basis. It is hoped that the materials presented here will serve as the foundation for a social history of the Koreans in Hawaii.
