The pie chart indicates the percentages of males and females arrested during the five-year period ending in 1994, while the bar chart illustrates the major reasons for recent arrests, including five distinct categories, 'other reasons', and 'no response’.
Overall, the first chart shows that the male arrested rate was higher than the female from 1990 to 1994, while the second shows there are differences between men’s and women’s causes of arrest.
Initially, males have been arrested a total of 32% during the given period and females rated at 9%. Males were arrested at a rate that was 3.5 times higher than females.
Among men, drinking and driving was the most frequent cause of arrest, accounting for approximately 26%, while women had a lower rate of 14%, resulting in the largest gap between the two genders for any of the reasons. Women were more frequently arrested for public drinking, while men had higher rates for the remaining reasons. Furthermore, around 4% of men and 7% of women did not provide a reason for their arrest. |
