The graph presented the number of

in five countries
between 1930 and 1980. The countries
being observed were Great Britain, Australia, New Zealand, the United States and Canada.
In general, all of the countries
experienced a fluctuation in the figures for imprisonment
between 1930 and 1980. Only in Great Britain, the figures consistently increased from year to year. Both Australia and New Zealand had a similar pattern where the number of imprisonments dropped significantly from 1980 to 1950 before rising steadily from 1960 to 1970. The only difference between the two countries
happened in 1980 as the figures for imprisonment
in Australia dropped to 50 while
it rose to 85 in New Zealand. Furthermore
, the fluctuation also
happened in the United States on a yearly basis and got to its highest point
in 1980. However
, Canada had an interesting pattern where there was a gradual decrease from 1930 to 1980, showing a different pattern compared to the other four countries
.
Across all of the five countries
, the most fluctuation happened in the United States. It started at 100 imprisonment
in 1980 and increased to 130 in 1940. Interestingly, the number dropped the following year back to around 100. However
, it went up again to around 110 before dropping to its lowest point
at 90 in 1970. After hitting its lowest point
, it increased significantly to its highest point
at 130 in 1980.Submitted by helma.devina on
