This is a recent British study focussing on bullying. Teachers, parents and children themselves see the differences.

This is an American study that focusses on the students and parents and reaches similar conclusions.
Both studies focus on the perception of the issue, not on hard numbers on bullying. What I was looking for are, if cases of bullying drop when school uniforms are introduced.
I mean, can you get hard numbers on bullying? It's not a black and white situation. If someone feels that they're being bullied then they are. The American study shows that pupils feel that there's less bullying. If you want to design your own study then you can, but I'm not sure how.
But that's not, what they were asked. They were asked about their perception of bullying, so also bullying of others, not only of themselves. I agree, that it would be much better evidence, if they would have just asked if the students get bullied.
My problem with the perception thing is that everyone tells you, that school uniforms help against bullying and then you get school uniforms. So now you might feel, that there's less bullying, because you have this foregone conclusion, that it must work.
