Introduction
From the 1990s to the early 2000s, crime in the United States was on the decline. Since
the conclusion of World War II, this has been the longest and highest-declining crime trend
period. Both violent and nonviolent crimes are on the decline throughout the country, as are the
major demographic groups (James, 2018). Approximately every three seconds, according to FBI
data, a property crime occurs in the United States. The second most common kind of crime was
violent crimes, with a new incident being recorded every 22 seconds. Contrary to popular belief,
property crimes continue to be the most common kind of crime when contrasted to violent
crimes. In terms of prevalence, property crime was almost 10 times more common than violent
crime. For example, this data looks at violent crimes such as murder and non-negligent
manslaughter, rape as well as the legacy of rape, as well as burglary, and other kinds of severe
assault. Burglary, Larceny theft, and car theft are all types of property crimes. To summarize,
this study offers three graphic representations of the data on crimes both violent and nonviolent
and offers an interpretation of this trend which can further be used to predict the trend going into
the future.

The three visuals below are the bar graph, the line graph, and the scatter plot. The bar
graph is used as the first visualization because they allow the reader to come up with patterns or
trends by just having a look at the bars. The line graph shows the change of the Crime over time
as a series of values that are connected using different sets of lines. Why is it important? The line
graph shows the trend in the crime rate with Crime being dependent and time being the
independent factor. These types of graph track change for mostly short and long periods (Better
