Interesting link! This in particular caught my eye:
What in the world would uniforms have to do with vandalism?
I don't know, but just guessing - it may make the kids identifiable, or make them feel identifiable. It might also drop crime just by nature of making kids feel more a part of something - which is one of the reasons charter schools tend toward uniforms.
I heard a story on NPR about a charter school in, I think, Louisiana, (if I remembered more I'd go find it), that changed the language they used, to boost morale and feelings of empowerment among students. They weren't, in fact, called students, but scholars, stuff like that.
