The line graph and pie chart below show information on crime in the UK for the last year. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
The graph illustrates the number of
crimes
caused by people
of different ages and the pie chart compares the proportion of four kinds of crimes
that took place in the United Kingdom last
year. Overall
, people
tended to commit more crimes
from 12 and started to decline after they reached 20 years old when the most crimes
were committed. Violent crimes
were the most common while
public order crime
was the least.
Starting with the line graph, no crimes
were caused until people
got 8 years old. As they turned 12, around 50,000 crimes
were committed, which significantly increased to 70,000 at the age of 16 and reached the highest at 80,000 when they became 20. After that, however
, there was a severe drop to 20,000 as they became 28, from which the decline started to become more moderate, finally
hitting the bottom at less than 10,000 when people
became 60.
Turning to the pie chart, violent crime
accounts for the largest percentage with 46%. In addition
, the rest is comprised of property crime
and drug crime
, which had almost equal rates at 23% and 22% respectively. Furthermore
, only 9% of the crimes
were in public order, making it the least major kind of crime
committed in the United Kingdom last
year.Submitted by mizuho on
