The line chart provides information about the statistic of three major forms of crimes in England and Wales in a 35-year period from 1970 to 2005.

The number of house burglaries was the lowest among these crime kinds. Initially, from 1970 to 1990, the figures mostly remained unchanged, roughly with 0 million. However, in the later period, a sudden increase was witnessed in this pattern, as in 2005, about 0.2 million individuals involved in criminal activities related to residents’ accommodation, which was the highest level ever of this law breaking action.
Regarding the statistic of car theft and street robbery sectors, it is evident that the number of crimes in both kinds had increased noticeably in the first two decades and had plunged afterwards without any recovery. Specially, reaching only 0.2 million in 1970, the number of crimes in the house burglary segment went up to around 0.7 million in 1995 before falling at a mild rate and reach more than 0.5 million in the final year of the surveyed period. Following this changing tendency, the number of car thefts in these nations surged exponentially from 1970 to 1990, with 0.4 million and one million, respectively, and reached a peak of 1.6 million in 1995. However, this figure experienced a remarkable decline afterwards, it then eventually reached one million in 2005.
