The line chart shows car thefts per 1000 vehicles in 4 countries-Great Britain, Sweden, France, and Canada–over a span of 9 years.
Overall, while Sweden experienced an upward trend during the period, other countries showed steadiness. At the end, Great Britain stayed with an enormous gap comparatively to remainings.
In 1990, Great Britain was at the absolute top, roughly at 17 thefts per 1000car. Throughout the period, it slightly fluctuated with local peaks and nadirs and finished at the almost initial value.
The different trajectory was followed by Sweden, starting at 8; that is, during the timeline it witnessed a gradual rise to approximately 14 in 1999, ending the period as the second highest among the four lines.
In contrast to Sweden’s growth, Canada and France were stable with 7 and 6 thefts per 1000 vehicles, respectively. Canada started its path with a downward pattern; afterward, it stabilized at 6 over a period 9 years. France at the beginning climbed from 6 to 8, subsequently, this figure dropped gradually to the same level as Canada.
