Band 6+: The two figures below show the rate of criminal convictions among men and women of different ages in the UK and the proportion of male and female prison inmates in the British prison system.

The line chart illustrates the criminal conviction rate in the UK by gender and age, while the pie chart demonstrates the distribution of prisoners by gender. Overall, male is more prone to committing crime than female across all age groups, with a far more absolute number of convicted inmates.

The trend of criminal convictions in different age groups for male is akin to female. The conviction rate of female is negligible for the 10 years old group whereas male with the same age also shows a minimal rate of convictions of merely 2%. However, the percentage for both climbs and reaches a peak for the 20-year-old group. Conviction rate for male soars to 16%, representing a eightfold increment, while the rate for female increase to approximately 5%. A downward trend is presented thereafter from age 20 to 60, with the conviction rate of male and female steadily declines from 16% to 2% and 5% to around 0%, repectively.

The pie chart shows a dominant proportion of male inmates in UK comparing to females, who only represents 4% of the total prisoners.
