densities greater than 1 for values within an (0,1) intervall

Katja Hillmann 
Hello,

I used the command kdensity in order to calculate the density of 
fractions/ratios (e.g. number of longterm unemployed on total 
unemployment). Thus I try to calculate the denisty of values less than 
1. However, the values of the kernel densitiy R provided (y-scale) are 
all greater than 1. Where is the problem and how may I solve it? Does R 
have problems in calculating distributions of variables within an 
intervall of 0 and 1?

Best,
Katja
