Hawaii in 7 numbers
- Every major offense fell in 2025. Motor vehicle theft -25% (9,421 to 7,090), larceny-theft -23%, robbery -18%, homicide -18%, aggravated assault -5%, burglary 0%.
- Almost half of all reports are property crime. 45,268 of 84,247 reports (53.7%); larceny-theft alone is 26,332 (31.3%).
- Clearances skew toward violent crime. 111% of homicides cleared vs 6% of motor vehicle thefts and 10% of burglaries (2025, reports cleared divided by reports received, reporting agencies only).
- Homicides fell by nearly a fifth. 56 reports in 2025 vs 68 in 2024 (-18%) across reporting agencies.
- The biggest volume is not violent. Simple assault (16,299) alone outweighs the entire personal-safety total (5,328, 6.3% of reports).
- Watch the monthly shape. Larceny-theft peaked in Jan (2,569) and troughed in Dec (1,744), a 1.5× swing inside a single year.
- These are reporting-agency sums. 2 of 6 agencies reported motor vehicle theft in December 2025 (vs 2 in January); totals reflect who reported, not a census of crime.
Takeaways are computed from summed FBI CDE reported counts (source year 2025, 6 agencies in file). They describe reported data, not forecasts; check the methodology and coverage notes before reuse.

111% of homicides cleared vs 6% of motor vehicle thefts, clearance follows violent crime, not volume.
| Offense | Reported | Cleared | Clearance rate |

| Burglary | 4,631 | 454 | 9.8% |
| Larceny-theft | 26,332 | 2,876 | 10.9% |
| Motor Vehicle Theft | 7,090 | 451 | 6.4% |
Clearances ÷ reports received; clearances may concern earlier reports, so this is not a solve rate.
