population figures of the Hawaii Health
Surveillance Program (which axe used in
this Report in Table 6), instead of the
1980 U.S. Census data (see Table 5)
used by the Hawaii Criminal Justice
Center, would yield significantly
different results. The Health
Surveillance Program tabulation (see
Table 24) indicates that native
Hawaiiana constitute 18.9 percent of
Hawaii's population (instead of 12
percent) and therefore the proportion
of arrestees (23 percent) would not be
double (although still greater than)
native Hawaiians' share of the
population. Both tabulations are
presented here because, for whatever
reason, the Hawaii Criminal Justice
Information Data Center chose to use
U.S. Census population figures in
Tables 23 and 2 5. In a footnote to the
table the Center states: "Population
figures from State of Hawaii,
Department of Planning and Economic
Development. By self-identification or
race of mother. Data are not
comparable to Health Surveillance
Program tabulations used in previous
years' reports." 62/
Table 25 shows the race of those
arrested for specific crimes in Hawaii
in 1981. For all crimes listed in the
table except gambling, the race of
those arrested was most often White,
and the second most numerous group of
arrestees was Hawaiian/part-Hawaiian in
all cases except manslaughter. The
number of Hawaiians/part-Hawaiians
arrested for each crime was greater
than their relative share of the
population (12 percent, in this study),
except for manslaughter and gambling.
63/ Of those arrested for robbery and
burglary, 24.5 percent and 27.3 percent
were Hawaiian or part-Hawaiian. The
White group percentages also exceeded
their population share (33 percent),
althouyh not in as many categories.
A study on incarceration was written
by University of Hawaii sociologist
Jean Kussebaum. She found that
nearly 60 percent of the prison
population in Hawaii is Hawaiian or
part-Hawaiian. 64/
Race of Juveniles Arrested
Educational difficulties of native
Hawaiian youths are reflected in
criminal justice statistics.
According to State of Hawaii
statistics, native Hawaiian youths
comprised the largest percentage of
arrestees for each crime appearing in
Table 26. Almost 53 percent of
juveniles arrested for motor vehicle
theft were native Hawaiian. More than
44 percent of runaways were native
Hawaiian, and more than 42 percent of
juveniles arrested for burglary were
native Hawaiian.
Summary
The percent of native Hawaiian
adults arrested in Hawaii in 1981 was
greater than the native Hawaiian
percentage share of the population.
The percentage of native Hawaiians
arrested for specific crimes was also,
in many crime categories, larger than
their share of the population.
The picture for native Hawaiian
juveniles arrested in 1981 was even
more striking. Native Hawaiian
juveniles comprised the largest
percent of those arrested for each
crime examined.
H. HEALTH 65/
Birth and Death Rates
Evidence compiled by population'
experts indicates that there were
"widespread and prolonged low birth
rates [in Hawaii in the nineteenth
century] due to venereal disease." 66/
The birth rate in Hawaii increased
from 21.3 in the 1848 to 1859 period
to 23.6 in the 1880 to 1889 period,
while the death rate declined from
45.8 to 25.3 in the same interval.
