Hawaii Cty Crime Stats for 2000:
http://www.fedstats.gov/mapstats/crime/c...15001.html
(latest stats & ONLY I could find) Totals are lower than many areas in the US, but not all.
Looking at the Big Island Report, most days the crime & wanted seem to come fairly equally from around the island (remembering that the population on the East side is greater than the west & that Hilo/Puna is the top population area in the county.
When you look at any statistic, you must look at a number of things, including who generated the numbers, what is the statistical sig. for the numbers & so on... It is very interesting to look at the numbers while also looking at demographic information.
