As I was comparing serving military service men (the previous occupants of the camp) with asylum seekers, my comparison is fair.
Where your comparison with th general population of UK is not because the general popualtion were never, nor were ever going to be housed in former military barracks.
And as the majority of asylum seekers are young men, it is only fair to compare the criminal records young soldiers to that of young asylum seekers.
Let me remind you: Serving Young soldier criminal rate, as a percentage of that population: over 20%.
Foreign Nationals, i.e. all foreign students, foreign workers, long-term settled foreigner, etc. (Not just Asylum seekers) 17%.
You have also pointed out that young serving soldiers are more likely to be involved in violent crimes.
Therefore my suggestion that the local inhabitants of Piddington will be safer housing asylum seekers, rather than military, is borne out by statistics.
Also your claim that military in general have a lower crime rate than the overall population is incorrect:
Military: 17%
General Population: 7%.
So the light is shone on your biased view.
