Case Notes



 



  Trial court was not authorized, under §706-605, to order
defendant to pay restitution to the Honolulu police department for its drug
"buy money" expenses where (1) it was unlikely that ordering
defendant to pay restitution would aid defendant in developing a degree of
self-respect and pride in knowing that defendant has righted the wrong
committed; and (2) department did not qualify as a "crime victim"
under chapter 351 and defendant's offenses did not qualify as a "violent
crime" under this section.  93 H. 34 (App.), 995 P.2d 335.
