Low violent crime rate, high property crime rate. A lot of theft is not reported.
The article reported an increase in violent crimes on Big Island last year.
If a lot of theft wasn't reported last year, chances are it wasn't reported in previous years at approximately the same percentage.
Nevertheless, there was/is still a lot of property crime on island. A good trend, but clearly not good enough to keep people from being alarmed and complaining about it.
