Band 7+: You should spend about 20 minutes on this task. The line graph and pie chart below show information on crime in the UK for the last year. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant. You should write at least 150 words.

The studied graphs illustrate a correlation between age and crimes, as well as different types of crimes committed in the UK last year.

The first graph is a line graph that demonstrates the relationship between age and illegal commitments. We can see that the crime rate rises from 8 to 12 years old with approximately 5 commitments, and then shoots up to 70 at 16 years old and achieves its peak of 80 crimes at the age of 20. Law violations dramatically decrease until the age of 28 and then slowly decrease until 60 years old.

The second one is a pie chart representing percentages of diverse violations in the UK last year. We can note that violent crimes are the most frequent ones which is 46% of all the felonies, which can be explained by the sudden crime rate rise at the age of 16 to 20, where the young generation uses its flourishing strength to commit felonies. Drug and property crimes are almost equally common, with a percentage between 22 and 23. The least committed one is the public order violation, with only 9%.

Overall, we can note that in the lifetime between 16 and 20 years old, most of the offences happen, which can also explain the violent crime percentage being the highest one, due to the developing young strength and energy, and the least committed ones are the least requiring ones, such as public order offences.
