IELTS - Crime in UK; percentage of criminality of British people in different age/gender

The charts compare the percentage of criminality of British people in different ages, and the number of male and female offenders in the UK.

It is clear that the largest percentage of crimes is committed by males aged 20. We can also see that prison inmate was considerably higher in men than in women.

Interestingly, just around 2% of offences are committed by males aged 10 and retirement age, compared to 0 % of criminals by females similar with age of males. The percentage of convictions experienced a rapid increase and reached a peak of 16% for men and approximately 5% for women among 20-year-olds. However, from 20 year olds to 80, the percentage of perpetration declines immediately.

As for the population of prison inmates, it is predicted that males owns the vast part of area than females. While 96 percent of all prisoners are males, the remainder are females. (150)

Adopt a more reporting tone. Avoid phrases like "it is clear that", "We can also see"
Overall, the largest percentage of crimes is committed by males aged 20. while prison inmate was considerably higher in men than in women.
Overall, good writing. However, I like if you added one more para with details for this response :)

Sorry, you could use simple tense here. However, you also use both past tense and simple tense in your body paragraphs. Decide one to use in your whole essay :)

No, I mean you should decide which tense should be used in your essay.
Let's have a look at your paragraphs:

It is clear that the largest percentage of crimes is committed by males aged 20. We can also see that prison inmate was considerably higher in men than in women.

No years are given in both charts but you used simple present tense in the first sentence and the simple past tense in the second one.

Interestingly, just around 2% of offences are committed by males aged 10 and retirement age, compared to 0 % of criminals by females similar with age of males. The percentage of convictions experienced a rapid increase and reached a peak of 16% for men and approximately 5% for women among 20-year-olds. However, from 20 year olds to 80, the percentage of perpetration declines immediately.

Again, you used two different tenses to describe the chart in this paragraph. When it comes to a chart without any years given, you could use either simple past or simple present tense but using both of them is not a good idea.

compared to 0 % of criminals by females similar with age of males. - IT IS FRAGMENT.

Use these phrases to avoid repetition of words in your visual writing:
The number of = the figure for
The proportion of = the figure for
Proportion = percentage

20-year-olds

Grammar errors. A 20-year-old woman

Overall, you write well. You just need one or two detailed sentences in the last paragraph.
