The given line graph illustrates the changing rate of total offence captures for adolescents in three distinct local areas from 1995 to 1998, in percentage.
Overall, it is clear that the suburban witnessed an upward trend, while the opposite was true for two categories left. It is notable that urban areas was the lowest rate of crimes for most of the period.
As it is shown in the illustration, the suburban sites started with roughly 2%, then significantly surge to nearly 8% in 1996 which was the highest rate in the chart. However, there was a dramatic decrease in 1997 with approximately -2%. In the end of the surveyed, it slightly rocket to 0%, becoming a areas with the most teenager crimes.
It is expcility observed that the figure of rural and urban sites delineate a same feature. In detail, with the rate of urban site in 1995 shows about 0% then gradually rise to 2% in the next year. Afterward, there was a downward tendency with almost -2% by 1997 following that it fell to just under -6% by 1998. In constrast, the rural figure although following the same trajectory, remained at a higher level throughout, declinning from 3% in 1995 to -2% by 1998. Thus, while both figures dropped, the urban consistently stayed at a lower level than the rural one.
