The given two diagrams represent how the quantity of property and violent felonys change covering the years 1982 to 2002 in America.
As an overall trend, as time went by, the amount of property crimes kept dropping, while ones of violent crimes rose slightly despite of several opposite flows each other.
Looking at the chart in detail, according to first picture - property crimes -, it can be clearly analyzed that the trend climbed steadily to over 4,000 population in the initial four years; however, it started to decline constant and reached its bottom to below 3,000 population in following eight years. After that, the figure of property crimes remained stable to 3,000 population despite smooth jump to 2,900 and 4,000 between 1994 and 1998.
On the other hand, in the case of violent crimes, it is obviously found that the flow grew slowly to 600 population until 1990, including slight drop to about 580 and 500 in 1986 and 1988. Next, the trend stood at same rate during 2 years and plunged suddenly toward its bottom ( roughly 300 population). Thereafter, soared rapidly and arrived at the peak to approximately 620 population in the year of 1998. Subsequently, the number dropped moderately, recording nearly 580 population in 2002. |
