School uniforms should be required.
'According to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, roughly 800,000 children are reported missing each year in the United States -- that's roughly 2,000 per day. Of those, there are 115 child "stranger abduction" cases each year, which means the child was taken by an unknown person.' These are in the United States where uniform is not compulsory. 'And 100,000 children under 16 years old run away overnight from home or care each year in the UK. In 2010/11, 91 per cent of missing incidents reported to the police were closed within 48 hours, with 99 per cent of all missing cases solved within one year' These are in the United Kingdom where uniform is compulsory. What can we see here? A much higher success rate in the U.K. Whilst lots of different factors can affect this result, a large percentage is due to the children here wearing uniform which allows (if a young child to be found) to be returned to the area where they came from.
