The line graph illustrates the
crime
rates
 in three different areas of Newport City Centre from 2003 to 2012.
Burglary
 and
car
theft
 were consistently the highest
crime
rates
 throughout the entire period, with a noticeable decrease in both crimes from 2003 to 2004. Robbery,
on the other hand
, had lower
crime
rates
 compared to
burglary
 and
car
theft
. The graph shows that there was a slight increase in robbery in 2005 compared to the other years, but
overall
, the
crime
 rate remained relatively stable throughout the period. From 2008 to 2012, there was a significant increase in
car
theft
, reaching nearly 1000 cases in 2012.
However
,
burglary
 remained considerably lower compared to
car
theft
 during
this
 time period. These trends suggest that
while
burglary
 and
car
theft
 were consistently high,
car
theft
 saw a significant increase in recent years, surpassing
burglary
 in terms of
crime
rates
.
