The graph below shows information about three different types of violations in England and Wales over a thirty-five-year period between 1970 and 2005.
In general, what stands out from the graph is that the car theft and house burglary were at a higher level throughout the period, while street robbery had the lowest number of violations. Another interesting point is that the number of violations in England and Wales for the car theft and house burglary dropped compared with the beginning, whereas, in street robbery, this number increased.
Turning to the details of the cat theft, in the first twenty years the figure saw a dramatic increase to one million violations in England and Wales, after which there was a sharp rise to 1.6 million up to 1995, and then, since that year, the car theft fell significantly and returned to its previous level at about one million violations. As for house burglary, the number of violations in England and Wales increased considerably to 0.6 million. Despite a fifteen-year slight fluctuation up to 1995, the figure then leveled off to 0.5 million violations.
And finally, as for the street robbery, the figure remained stable in the first twenty years, but after 1990 the number of violations in England and Wales witnessed a slight growth to 0.2 million.
