Some graphs or tables contain a lot of information, so you will not be able to include everything. Look at the exam bar graph below. The number of prisoner in thousands in five different countries from 1930 to 1980

The information given in the chart makes comparisons in the

number

of

prisoners

in five different countries from 1930 to 1980.

While

the

figures

for imprisonment fluctuated over the period shown,

it is clear that

the United States had the highest

number

of

prisoners

overall

. Great Britain,

on the other hand

, had the lowest

number

of

prisoners

for the majority of the period. As can be seen from the graph, the United States had the highest

number

of

prisoners

in four out of the six years shown on the chart, and in 1980 the figure for

this

country peaked at nearly 140,000

prisoners

. Canada had the highest

figures

for imprisonment in 1930 and 1950, with about 120,000

prisoners

in both years. The

figures

for New Zealand and Australia fluctuated between 40,000 and 100,000

prisoners

,

although

New Zealand's prison population tended to be the higher of the two.

In contrast

to the

figures

for the other countries, the

number

of

prisoners

in Great Britain rose steadily between 1930 and 1980, reaching a peak of about 80,000

at the end

of the period.
