四国每千辆车的盗窃案Thefts per thousand vehicles in four countries

The line graph compares the number of vehicle theft cases per thousand in Great Britain, Sweden, France and Canada over a ten-year period, starting from 1990. In general, Great Britain consistently had the highest rate of car thefts throughout the period, while France and Canada experienced relatively low and stable figures of vehicle theft. In contrast, Sweden showed a clear upward trend, with the number of thefts more than doubling by the end of the decade. In 1990, the rate of car thefts in Great Britain was almost 17 per thousand vehicles, which was already much higher than in the other three nations. After rising to a peak of about 20 per thousand in 1993, it then fluctuated slightly but remained at a high level, ending the period close to 16 per thousand in 1999. Besides, Sweden, which started at a relatively low figure of car theft, roughly 8 thefts per thousand vehicles in 1990, experienced a significant increase over a decade. The rate climbed steadily and reached approximately 14 per thousand by 1999. By comparison, France and Canada saw much smaller changes in recorded vehicle theft cases. In 1990, both countries recorded theft rates between 5 and 7 per thousand vehicles, and although their figures fluctuated marginally over time, they ended the decade at similar levels of around 6 per thousand.
