He recommended thot federal funds be increased for ofter uhool and summer jobs for students In 0 study of violence and vondalism in public school systems, which he conducted in IS culturally-mixed, urbon cities ocross the country, Dr. Wotson found that despite on increase of violent betavior over the post five yeors in some districts, the trend is not corsistently upwards. His study showed thot for the 19/4-75 school yeor. in districts surveyed there were only 26 ossoults per 10,000 students enrolled, and that outsiders who were non-stu(jents committed os high os 76 percent of the crimes .in one school system * Doto from the study reveoled the net losses some cities suffered from Khool vondolims durino the 1974-75 school ^yepr.
