Crime is everywhere, and even if it doesn't exist, what can stop Rockstar from creating a fake gang and placing it in Hawaii? It doesn't have to be realistic. I think Hawaii is a good setting, but like Rain said, it may be too small. The whole state isn't much bigger than Rhode Island. They might have to do a lot to make Hawaii seem like a big setting.
