The table below shows the figures (in thousand) for imprisonment in five countries between 1930 and 1980.

The graph presents data on the number of criminals sent to jail in five nations from 1930 to 1980. It is obvious that there were great fluctuations of imprisonment in all of countries during the phrase.

There were 100 thousand prisoners both in New Zealand and United States, and approximate 70 thounsand in Ausstralia. After two decade, while imprisonment  in  Great Britain increased up 40 thousand prisoners, the number of prisoners in Australia and New Zealand declined rapidly, both just over 40 thousand. By contrast, imprisonments in both United States and Canada fluctuated sligthly, peaked at nearly 130 thousand and reached a trough of almost 110 thousand prisioners in 1940, respectively.

In 1970, the prisioner’s numbers in Great Britain, Australia and New Zealand became the same accounting nearly 70 thousand, in US was under 100 thousand, and Canada over 80 thousand. In 1980, criminals in almost countries have upward trends. US has the highest figures during the period, at approximate 140 thousand, contrast to only Australia has a steady decrease up about 50 thousand being the lowest number in this year.

 

Answer 1

The graph presents data on the number (numbers) of criminals sent to jail in five nations (paraphrasing?) from 1930 to 1980. It is obvious that there were great fluctuations of imprisonment in all of countries during the phrase. (there is no comparison here)

Initially in 1930, the lowest figure for imprisonment was in Great Britain just under 30 thousand, compare (in comparison) to the highest number  exactly 120 thousand in Canada. There were 100 thousand prisoners both in New Zealand and United States, and approximate 70 thounsand in Ausstralia. After two decade, while imprisonment  in  Great Britain increased up 40 thousand prisoners, the number of prisoners in Australia and New Zealand declined rapidly, both just over 40 thousand. By contrast, imprisonments in both United States and Canada fluctuated sligthly, peaked at nearly 130 thousand and reached a trough of almost 110 thousand prisioners in 1940, respectively.
