The line graph shows the correlation between age and crime, while the pie chart compares how many different kinds of property crime in the UK were committed during 2002. Overall, the majority of most offenders are aged between 16 and 24; moreover, violent crime is the most common crime in the UK.
As is illustrated by the graph, no crimes were committed by children in the age range of 0 to 8. It was followed by a slight rise to around 5% in the figure for children aged 8 to 12. The proportion for teenagers aged 16 experienced a considerable increase to about 70% and peaked at 80% when they were 20 years old. The sharpest fall was experienced to 20% by the figure for 28-year-old people, after which there was a steady decline until they were 60 years old, placing it at the bottom of the age group in terms of crime rates.
Turning to the pie chart, violent crime made up for nearly half of crime in the UK. The proportions for property crime and drug crime had similar figures, which is almost a half of that of violent crime. It was followed by public order crime, accounting for a modest 9%.
