Line Graph 2
The line graph shows the number of cars stolen per 1,000 vehicles in four countries—Great
Britain, Sweden, France, and Canada—between 1990 and 1999. Overall, Great Britain
consistently had the highest rate of car thefts, while France and Canada saw a gradual decline.
Sweden, on the other hand, experienced a steady rise in this issue over the period.
To begin with, Great Britain had the highest rate of car thefts throughout. It began at 18 per
1,000 in 1990, much higher than the other countries. The number fluctuated over the nine years,
peaking at 20 thefts per 1,000 in 1996 before falling slightly to about 17 in 1999.
Meanwhile, car theft rates in Sweden, France, and Canada followed a similar trend during the
first five years, staying between 5 and 10 thefts per 1,000 vehicles. This issue increased most
significantly in Sweden after 1995 to just under 15 by the end of the period. However, France
and Canada saw a general decline in the rate of this problem over time, reaching about 6 per
1,000 in 1999,
