I'm going to do what I should've done a while ago and ask HMRC why there's a big difference. Will report back if they have a useful answer.
I suspect it's this though, as they classify sector by what the organisation does, not the individual.

I actually hadn't thought of that. I think you're right – would explain why the share is so much lower in self-reported data

I think it does, because 1) you might not sway everyone at the end when you need to, and 2) new traitors upset the dynamic and might lead them to turn on each other

I quit around the same time as you – glad it's not just me finding this. I wondered if it's because my initial motivation has faded

But we haven't seen anything which indicates that non-citizens are more/less likely to be convicted multiple times in a year.

The prison figures count individuals, whereas the conviction figures count convictions (i.e., someone could have multiple in a year).
I'm not sure how that will affect the conviction figs bc we don't have info beyond that in the piece.

Conviction and imprisonment rates vary widely by nationality.
We can be confident that some smaller nationalities (e.g. Albanians) are overrepresented, but we can't say how much, because the UK's population stats are highly uncertain.
However, we can estimate this for larger non-citizen groups.

Foreign nationals are overrepresented among drug and fraud offenders, while underrepresented for violent offences & robbery.
For sexual offences, it's more complicated. Non-citizens are overrepresented for cautions/convictions but underrepresented in the prison population.

Definitely some of the cask ones – you won't catch me anywhere near a bitter. But the carbonated IPAs are like lager, just with some extra taste
