The two pie charts illustrates the proportion of people arrested in the UK between 2015 and 2020, one for each gender. The bar chart below further depicts the causes for being arrested – 5 specific reasons and the “other” category.
Overall, men had a higher percentage of people arrested. But for both genders, public intoxication was notably the chief cause of getting arrested. One interesting observation is that theft contains the lowest percentage for both men and women.
Dissecting the date further, 32% of British men were detained in the 5-year period. Women, on the same period, only had 9%. The other 69% for men and 91% for women were not arrested during 2015 to 2020.
As for the reason of being detained, public intoxication leads the chart (around 30% for male, almost 40% for female). The second-most cause for arrest is drink-driving for men (just over 20%) and assault for women (just under 20%). Theft, for male, contains the lowest rate (almost 15%), and is tied with “breaking and entering” for the lowest for female (just above 10%). Other statistics for both genders fluctuate from 10% to 20%, indicating that cases like this may not be prominent, but still exist at somewhere in the country.
