The chart below shows three different crimes and the number of cases committed in 1970 and 2005 in England and Wales. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
The chart gives data about the amounts of three types of crime in two British regions from 1970 to 2005.
Overall
, what stands out from the line graph is that vehicle theft was the increasing
trend
in the period shown.
By contrast
, street robberies showed a downward
trend
throughout the period. Looking at the details, the cases of car theft started at 0.4
million
in 1970, which increased steadily for the next two decades and saw a spectacular surge from 1990 to 1995, after a bit of reaching the higher point of 1.6
million
, in the endpoint which was shown by a dramatic decline at 1
million
in 2005. It is
also
worth noticing that the cases of street robberies showed an upward
trend
in
this
period, which began with 0.2
million
between 1975 and 2005 with small fluctuations. If we look at house burglary the crime considerably climbed in just a decade from 0.2 to 0.6 respectively, in the next 5 years it remained stable,
then
picked up the final point, which was a decreased
trend
at 0.5
million
