Summary/Direct Quote

 * First, which issues are assumed to be linked to school uniforms? Or, which educational process factors do individuals and groups assume will be enhanced or alleviated by school uniforms? Though Clinton originally was concerned solely with school violence and gang-related behavior -- the list has grown to include virtually every aspect of public education and a number of social problems. The most prevalent issues raised in these anecdotal articles are that uniforms will: prevent gang-related activity, decrease distinctions between students (in particular, socio-economic distinctions), produce a student body that is more focused on schooling, reduce violence (of all kinds), instill an orderly school climate, inculcate discipline, and increase student achievement. Secondary issues, though not necessarily less important to those espousing uniforms is that they will: lessen clothing hassles, reduce crime and theft on campus, produce school unity and school pride, create a safe environment at the school, increase attendance (or reduce truancy), make it easier to recognize intruders, and increase self-esteem among students. There are numerous others - these are the prime assumptions derived from the anecdotal literature. **
