The provided line graph illustrates the crime rates—car theft, house burglary, and street robbery—recorded in England and Wales between 1970 and 2005.
Overall, all types of crime showed an upward trend, though to varying degrees, with the most significant increase observed in car theft.
In greater detail, the graph displayed different types of crime, one of which is car theft. After starting at 0.40 million, it increased significantly to 1.00 million in 1990. It then experienced a substantial decrease before surging to 1.60 million in 1995. Meanwhile, house burglary increased to 0.70 million in 1995, up from 0.20 million in the first year. There was a gradual drop of 0.20 million by the end of the time frame. Conversely, once street robbery began at 0.05 million in 1970, it remained constant until 1990, making it the lowest crime rate among all types of crime. Subsequently, it gradually rose to 0.20 million, followed by stability in 2005.
