I live in Kaimuki and work in the Moili'i area.

I don't know if Topi is a woman or a man, but if she is a woman, she cannot walk alone after dark.
I used to walk my dog around my house after dark, but now there are many strange people in Kaimuki and it is dangerous.
I think Waikiki is the only place where you can walk alone at night ？

Even during the day, you should not walk while wearing earphones. There have been many incidents of people approaching from behind with mopeds and taking bags.


I have heard some news, but I have not heard of any actual incidents so I guess it is not so different from Japan.

Hawaii is a tourist destination, so only a few things make the news in Japan, but if you live here, there are always stories of coworkers being snatched while walking or having their cars stolen. If you have a job that requires you to go home at night and take the bus to work, Waikiki is a good choice.

Waikiki is also not the safest place to be since there was a shooting during the day
but with that many police, you may feel a little safer.

Even though it is Hawaii, it is America, so walking is not recommended.
It is better to travel by car. If you wear anti-theft protection, it will not be stolen.

I am a middle-aged man with a good build. But if someone hit me in the head from behind with a baseball bat, I'd probably lose a fight.
If I am ambushed on my way to work on foot, it would be the end.
In Hawaii, I'm like a low-income earner, so I'll give up the car and take a bicycle or bus.

It would be better to carry some kind of tear gas.
But how can you commit a crime on a small island where you can easily find the culprit?

Rather than a worsening of security, there have always been places that have been unsafe.
I think it has expanded from there.

It seems that Waikiki has recovered to some extent, but I still think that
it is still in the process of recovery.

Please be mindful of crime prevention and defense.

I have never been attacked in Hawaii, but when I lived in CA
I was attacked by a gang once.

I handled it calmly and it was not serious.

It is still better to avoid going to unsafe places at night.
I try not to go out at night, but if I have to,
I try to go to places where there are lights and lots of people
and so on.

I am still
haunted by the trauma of being attacked by a gang. Even during the day, I get scared
when people walk behind me. In that case, I let the person walking ahead of me.

I don't feel comfortable when people are behind me, even on buses.

I have lived in Waikiki for 30 years

Now and then, there is no cut and dry comparison.
The only thing I can say is that since the start of Corona in 2020, it has been the worst security situation.

The quality of homeless people is not what it used to be.
There used to be homeless people who didn't do any harm, but now there are many bad ones, some of them are flirting with us, and some of them are shouting early in the morning. Perhaps the number of drug addicts is increasing.

Also, theft and assault cases are increasing, so I think that each individual should observe their surroundings and be careful.
I would like to enjoy my time in Hawaii because it is a paradise by nature, but I have to accept it because the environment has already changed in Corona.
Unfortunately.

I guess any person has to survive and live through.
