The ACLU of Hawaii is pleased to help disseminate this report from the Smart Justice Collective - a group of academics, researchers, community advocates, and attorneys. The focus was Hawai`i’s increasingly costly and ineffective criminal justice system. Concerned by Hawai`i’s growing reliance on incarceration, the Collective dedicates its efforts to making our system smarter on crime, rather than tougher on crime. Hawai`i’s current fiscal crisis has placed us in a position where the status quo in criminal justice can no longer be sustained, presenting an opportunity to rethink and improve the quality of justice in Hawai`i.
