arrests

.

Males

predominated in the

number

of crimes over the five-year period, and public drinking was the most major reason for the arrest of both genders. The proportion of crimes committed by

males

almost quadrupled (32%) compared to the

number

for

females

, which accounted for only 9 %. It is apparent that the majority reason for the

arrests

in both genders were drinking in public and those figures occupied over 30% among seven

reasons

males

and 37% in

females

. The figure for drinking and driving in men consisted of a quarter of the total which placed the second highest

number

of

reasons

such

as other

reasons

, breach of the order, and assault were 19%, 17%, and 15.5% respectively. It was just below 5% of male crimes who did not want to answer the reason for their

arrests

.

On the other hand

, there have been some differences in the

reasons

for

arrests

between men and women. The second largest percentage of the arrest was an assault in

females

which almost halved (18%) compared to those figures for public drinking, followed by other

reasons

at 17%, drinking and driving at 14%, breach of order and theft was 12%. In terms of no answer,

this

case had the least percentage (7%) in

females

and a similar

number

was observed in

males

.

Overall

males

occupied a third of the total and the figures of the

reasons

for the

arrests

in both genders varied apart from public drinking.
