The line graph compares three distinctive territories, namely rural, urban, and suburban areas, in terms of general juvenile arrests between 1995 and 1998. Units are measured in proportions.
From an overall perspective, arrest trends for minors in rural and urban areas showed a downward trajectory, albeit with varying levels. Of particular note are arrest rates for young people in suburban regions, which experienced an upward trend to become the dominant district in this category.
Following a dramatic rise from 2% to about 8% in the first year, the proportion of teenage arrests in suburban territories declined, reaching a low of approximately -2% in 1997. From this point onwards, it experienced a marginal growth to 0% by the conclusion of the period.
When it comes to the district, a downward trend was shown; after rising to about 1.5% between 1995 and 1996, and arrest rates for adolescents dropped, hitting roughly 2% in 1997. This figure then dipped to -2% by the close of the given period. Having started at 0%, arrest trends for minors went up until the year 1996 when it reached 2%. It then fell continually, ending the period at the lowest of -4%.
