The line graph compares the proportion of the UK’s crime rates ranging from zero to sixty-four years old in 2002, with the pie chart providing the breakdown of types of crime in four categories, namely violent, property, drug, and public order.
Overall, the 16-24 age group has the highest crime rate, and the lowest is people aged 0 to 12, while violent is the most sort of crime in the UK for 2002.
To begin with, the figures for the 0-8 age group remained unchanged at 0% until 12 years old, and it increased slightly to nearly 4%. Subsequently, the 12-24 age group soared to 70% and then hit a peak at 80% before declining significantly to 60%. For the 28 age group, the figures fell considerably from 60% to 20%, which was only one-third of that of the 24 age group. After that, the data for people aged 28-44 decreased steadily until reaching 10%. At the end, the crime percentage of the 44-60 age group edged down to just below 10%.
Regarding the pie chart, the figure for violent crime ranked first, at 48%, followed by property crime and drug crime. In addition, the data for property crime and drug crime had a quite similar rate, at 23% and 22%, respectively, with the former slightly higher than the latter. Lastly, the proportion of public order crime accounted for 9%, which was approximately one-fifth of violent crime.
