TASK RESPONSE.
The pie chart illustrates the percentage of males and females arrested from 1989 to 1994, while the bar chart compares the main reasons different genders were arrested.
It can be seen that males were more arrested than females, with public drinking being the commonest reason for the arrest for both genders.
The proportion of males arrested was 32% compared to only 9% for women. Most recent arrests, men were twice as likely to be arrested for drink driving than women, at 26% and 14% respectively. Breach of order, theft, and other reasons were also slightly higher for men, with all these offences standing in the range of 12-18% for both sexes. Women had a higher percentage of arrest for assault and public drinking, with assault at approximately 18%, compared to 16 of men, whereas public drinking was highest at a massive 38%, compared to 31% for men. There was a minimal percentage of arrests with no reasons, at 4 and 7 for men and women respectively.
