The line graph illustrates the connection between the crime rate and the age (1-64 years), while the bar chart depicts the proportion of crimes in four categories (violet crimes, property crime, drug crime, and public order crime) in England in last year.
Overall, the highest rate of offenses was reported from twenty-year-old individuals, whereas illegal activities were the lowest in elderly people of age 60. Additionally, no crimes were reported from children who were eight years old or younger. Unfortunately, the majority of violations belonged in the category of violent crimes, and there were a minimum number of public order crimes recorded.
According to the statistics, the age appears to be significantly affecting illegality. Occasionally, less than 10 crimes were reported from age groups 8–12. When growing older, the number of offenders significantly increased, with one’s who aged 20 years peaked at 80 crimes. There is a notable decline in the frequency of offences in individuals older than twenty. The citizens aged 28 years accounted for 20 crimes, and then the illegal activities considerably went down, reaching nearly 8 crimes in senior individuals of sixty years old.
With regards to the nature of offences, the proportion of violent crimes was considerably high at 46%. A similar trend was observed in both drug crimes and property crimes, accounting for 22% and 23%, respectively. The proportion of people who were involved in public order crimes were the fewest (9%), which indicates increased social cohesion.
