The line graph shows the prison population in a European country between 1911 and 2001.
The line graph illustrates the figure for individuals being incarcerated over a period of 90 years starting from 1911. From an overall perspective, it is readily apparent that the number of male inmates were always significantly higher in comparison with females, with the gap becoming wider over time. The data for female prisoners was at its peak at the start of the period, while the opposite was true for that of males.
Looking first of all at the number of men being sent to prison, the figure began at nearly 20,000 in 1911, then remained unchanged until 1921, before falling slightly to 10,000 in 1931. This was the only period in which the number of male prisoners declined as the figure thereafter more than recovered to reach around 20,000 in 1971, followed by a surge to achieve a record high of 45,000 in 2001.
Concerning the statistics for female counterparts, a total of 3,300 prisoners were recorded in 1911, after which it declined sharply to a trough of around 600 in 1941. The figure for imprisoned females subsequently increased steadily, albeit a marginal drop from 1,300 to 1,000 between 1961 and 1971, to finish the period at over 1,500.
