The line graph and pie chart provided illustrate the connection age, ranging from 0 to 60 years old, has with crime committed in the UK in the previous year, along with the ratio of four different types of crimes: violent, property, drug and public order crimes. Crimes are in tens of thousands, while their type is shown in percentages.
Overall, it is most obvious that crime does not start to show in individuals until after early childhood, after which it is shown to peak during young adulthood, then dramatically dropping into late adulthood and middle age, while maintaining a steady decline into old age.
The amount of illegal activities conducted by individuals less than or equals to the age of 8 is precisely zero, but can be seen to steadily rise to approximately 50k in ages greater than 8 up to 12, after which it steeply leaps to 800k crimes at the relatively young age of 20. Crime rates then drop to 240k and 200k, where the ages responsible are 24 and 28 respectively. From then, crime steadily drops from 200k to considerably less than 100k crimes in ages 28 to 60.
Most crimes were of the violent sort, sitting at 46% of all crime, while property and drug crime were each almost half of that (at 23% and 22% respectively), and public order crime being the rarest occurrence at 9% of the total.
