The system includes a computerized process wherein programs are configured to monitor inputs from a mobile computerized device within the school. The inputs may include location data for the mobile computerized device combined with a floor plan for the school to provide a tactical display to the emergency responder comprising the combined inputs and floor plan.
U.S. Pat. No. 9,424,725 to Keohane et al. discloses a school perimeter security system which includes a database with registered student mobile device identifiers. It includes three beacon devices located within the school perimeter, positioned to establish a boundary area near the perimeter, and detect and establish communication with mobile devices entering the boundary area. It obtains an identifier from each mobile device that enters the boundary area and compares the identified mobile devices with identifiers in the registry database, transmitting an alert notice.
Unfortunately, such security system and methods do not address school safety problems, root cause analysis and identification, or implementation of corrective actions and preventive actions to reduce school crime. The computerized systems, methods and devices are reactive rather than proactive. Further, they address only a limited number of items, such as a surveillance video camera is used for monitoring crime. Panic based devices send the alerts to the system for help only. The school perimeter security system enables facility access and information about student entry and exit only. Computerized school safety systems focus on providing information to an emergency responder about an alert at a school. Thus, there is a need for a computerized security system with a smart student ID card which not only provides reactive crime alerts, but also proactively monitors students' behavior and discipline data to address them before crime can occur.

The set of sensors sending a crime alert through a wireless network to a Smart Campus Security Shield Cloud Server 112 when the panic buttons 326-336-346 are pressed.
The Smart Campus Security Shield Cloud Server 112 memory comprises a student crime alert model as illustrated in Crime Alerts Table 1240, which describes a crime alert severity, student ID number, name, location, date, time, and student details.
There is a student risk control model as shown in Student Actions Table 1250, which generates a plurality of corrective actions and preventive actions for each individual student.
The machine learning model implements a Crime Alerts Personalized and Adaptive Machine Learning Method 900. The Personalized Machine Learning Method 910 and Adaptive Machine Learning Method 920 presents a set of customized corrective actions and preventive actions to a student based on at least one student attribute data. If a student attributes data is missing a probabilistic model is used.
Set of student safety performance statistics are generated using computing environment 1300 for an optimal safety management strategy for the School Security Staff 106 to reduce school crime.
When a crime occurs, the corresponding icon can automatically appear on the map into the exact location it happened. This placement of the icons is implemented using Smart Campus Security Shield Software 110 running on the Smart Campus Security Shield Cloud Server 112. The details of the crime, such as crime alert severity, student ID number, name, location, date, and time data can be automatically entered into the Smart Campus Security Shield Database 1200 when a panic button 326-336-346 is pressed. This data can wirelessly travel to the cloud server and be placed on the school map in the exact location where it happened.
The crime details can be reviewed by School Security Staff 106. If the risk severity of the crime is high, the alert can be sent to Emergency Responders 108. The emergency responders linked to the software are the local police from police stations, medical responders from hospitals, and fire fighters from the fire station. Other types of emergency responders may be added into the system by the school administration. One or more of the emergency responders can be called to the scene depending on the crime type.
The first step 202 of the application workflow is to collect and send crime alert data using a Smart Student ID Card 300. The Smart Student ID Card 300 includes various sensors, such as, inter alia: RFID tag, location sensors, and panic buttons consisting of touch sensors and push buttons. When a Smart Student ID Card 300 panic button 326-336-346 is pressed, panic button sends a crime alert severity, student ID number, name, location, date, and time to the Smart Campus Security Shield Cloud Server 112. Notification is sent to the School Security Staff 106 through the Smart Campus Security Shield Software 110.
The second step 204 of the application workflow is to route a crime alert severity, student ID number, name, location, date, and time automatically to emergency responders in case crime alert type is active shooter. When a student 104 presses a panic button on the Smart Student ID card 300, a crime alert is sent to be reviewed by the School Security Staff 106. The crime alert severity can be catastrophic (5) or critical (4) or serious (3). If the crime alert severity is catastrophic (5) it indicates active shooter requiring intervention of emergency responders 108. The School Security Staff 106 is also responsible for association of the crime alert with the student who committed it. The School Security Staff 106 can choose to enter and assign crime alert severity of Minor (2) or Negligible (1) for student's disruptive behavior.
The third step 206 of the application workflow involves student's Risk assessment and assignment, refinement and implementation of corrective actions and preventive actions using Crime Alerts Personalized and Adaptive Machine Learning Method 900 to reduce or avoid further crimes. A Risk Priority Number (RPN) is assigned for each crime alert type and is calculated by an algorithm which factors crime alert severity, occurrence, and detection ranking. The RPN may be classified as intolerable, as low as possible, and broadly acceptable.
The fourth step 208 of the application workflow aggregates the Smart Campus Security Shield System 100 safety performance data for monitoring, trending and reporting results. The safety performance reports consist of school disciplinary trends like expulsion, suspension, referrals, disruptive behavior, and positive behavior. The report also consists of trends associated with location and severity of the crime. The summary data can be visualized in the form of daily, weekly, monthly, yearly or user queried time range reports. Safety performance results are generated using data stored in the databases.
The Smart Student ID Card 300 comprises a front side Smart Student ID Card Front View 310 where student information is printed and a back side Smart Student ID Card Back View 320 consisting of three panic buttons 326-336-346.

The Smart Student ID Card Internal Sectional View 400 shows active shooter panic button 326, physical fight panic button 336, and bullying panic button 346, a Microcomputer 402, a RFID Tag 404, a GPS Chip 406, a Cellular Chip 408, a Wi-Fi Chip and Bluetooth Chip 410, and a Battery 412.
The Smart Student ID Card 300 has set of sensors with following functionalities: a RFID Tag 404 consisting of student ID number, name and a set of details of the student; a GPS Chip 406 location sensor to determine the student location; a Cellular Chip 408 sensor to connect to the nearest cellular network; a Wi-Fi Chip and Bluetooth Chip 410 sensor to connect with any existing network; Three panic buttons 326-336-346 to send real time crime alert severity, student ID number, name, location, date, and time. The set of sensors sends type-specific data to the Smart Campus Security Shield Cloud Server 112.
The Smart Student ID Card 300 RFID Tag 404 comprises a student ID number, a name and a set of details of the student.
The Smart Student ID Card 300 GPS Chip 406 location sensor sends a geo-spatial position of the student to the to the Smart Campus Security Shield Cloud Server 112.
The Smart Student ID Card 300, three panic buttons 326-336-346 crime alert type severity number is set to active shooter=5, physical fight=4, and bullying=3.
The panic button consists of a touch sensor and a push button. The three (3) touch sensors used in the card are placed externally, unlike the other circuitry. Touch sensors are placed directly on top of the push buttons. When both the touch sensor and push buttons are pressed, an alert with a specific crime type is sent to the Smart Campus Security Shield Cloud Server 112. This method of placement reduces false positives. A crime alert can only be sent if the touch sensor and push button are pressed. For example, if the panic button on the Smart Student ID Card 300 is pressed accidentally or unintentionally through any means, an alert cannot be sent because the touch sensor on the card, which requires a human's touch, was not touched with the finger. Similarly, if a student is taking his or her Smart Student ID Card 300 out of their bag and simply touches the touch sensor, a crime alert cannot be sent because the push button part of the panic button was not pressed.
These panic buttons 326-336-346 are connected to the Microcomputer 402 and RFID Tag 404. When a panic button is pressed, data from the Smart Student ID card 300 is sent to the Smart Campus Security Shield Cloud Server 112. This data includes crime alert severity, which is gathered from the panic button that was pressed. The data also includes student ID number, name, location, date, and time. A button is considered positive when it is touched and pressed by the human finger. In the case that a button is positive, the Microcomputer 402 can read the RFID Tag 404 and send the students ID number, while the GPS can also record and send the student's location. RFID at minimum can contain the student ID number information and in other cases can include the complete student details like name, age, grade and so on. Microcomputer 402 can contain all the student details data in its memory.
In some embodiments, the student information can be directly stored into the Microcomputer 402 memory and RFID Tag 404. The crime alert data consists of student information. This way, the School Security Staff 106 can identify who sent the alert, speak with them for more information, and assign disciplinary actions like expulsion, suspension, referrals, and disruptive behavior to the right student.
The GPS Chip 406 identifies the location of the student who pressed the panic button. When an alert is sent, the GPS Chip 406 can track the Smart Student ID Card 300 location and send it to the Smart Campus Security Shield Cloud Server 112 and store it in the Smart Campus Security Shield Software Database 1200. Through this Smart Campus Security Shield Software Database 1200, the crime can be shown on the Smart Campus Security Shield Software 110 on a School Map 102 in the exact place it happened.
The Cellular Chip 408 and Bluetooth Chip and Wi-Fi Chip 410 enable the data from crime alerts to be sent wirelessly to the Smart Campus Security Shield Cloud Server 112 and notify the School Security Staff 106 through the Smart Campus Security Shield Software 110.
The Battery 412 powers the circuitry in the card. The Battery 412 powers all the components of the Smart Student ID Card 300, so that it can function.
The Smart Student ID Card 300 can be programmed to work within a pre-determined area. This is done by making use of geofencing. A virtual boundary around a specified location in GPS Chip 406 enabled software is established. For example, this can be 500 meters around a location on maps. The virtual geofence will then enable or disable service when a student enters or exits that area.
The Smart Student ID Card 300 virtual geofencing can be used to record a student school entry and exit date and time.
The Smart Student ID Card 300 can be used to record a student school attendance through RFID Tag 404 when they enter through the school gates.
The Smart Student ID Card 300 can be used as a school facility access card to enable access to buildings, controlled areas, library and computer systems. This is done using RFID Tag 404 which use radio frequencies to enable access from a programmed short distance through RFID reader.
The Smart Student ID Card 300 can be used for pre-programmed meal plan. In this case Microcomputer 402 is programmed with the meal plan or as an electronic purse, to pay for at canteens, vending machines and so on.

The Personalized Machine Learning Method 910 comprises a set of student corrective actions and preventive actions based on a set of attributes of the student.
The Adaptive Machine Learning Method 920 comprises a set of student customized corrective actions and preventive actions based on a student personal interest and instructional format attribute.
The Personalized Machine Learning Method 910 consists of four procedural steps.
In the first procedural step Student Crime Alerts Big Data 912 consists of user entered student's attribute data and crime alerts data generated through Smart Student ID Card 300.
In the second procedural step Risk Analysis, Risk Evaluation, and Risk Priority Number (RPN) Calculation 914 is performed. The severity, occurrence, and detection rankings for corrective actions and preventive actions are auto assigned as per Tables 142-144-152. The ranking values range from 1 to 5. The Risk Priority Number (RPN) is calculated using formulae as below:
RPN=Severity Ranking×Occurrence Ranking×Detection Ranking
The RPN ranges are listed in the Table 154. The RPN upper limit value is 125 and lower limit value is 1. The RPN ranges are categorized as Intolerable (INT)=45-125, As Far As Possible (AFAP)=16-44, and Broadly Acceptable Region (BAR)=1-15.
The student discipline rankings as per Table 162 for corrective actions and preventive actions are auto assigned.
The third procedural step involves Risk Control with Assignment of Corrective Actions and Preventive Actions (CAPAs) 916. The assignment is based on overall student attributes data like personal profile, performance, cognitive skills, behavior, genetic, physiological characteristics, family background, personal interest and instructional format. This helps in grouping the students with similar disciplinary actions and reduces the cost of corrective actions and preventive actions implementation. Table 172 lists exemplary corrective actions and preventive actions for a crime alert type of active shooter, physical fight, and bullying. The example also contains initial assigned values labeled as “Before CAPAs Implementation” for Severity Ranking, Occurrence Ranking, Detection Ranking, RPN, and SDR.
Last step of the procedure involves Student Attributes, SDR, and RPN Clusters 918 creation. The corrective actions and preventive actions are further updated based on school surveillance data from cameras, suspicious activities, parents providing information, and so on. In this step Before CAPAs Implementation Students Discipline Ranking (SDR) Cluster 1110 and Before CAPAs Implementation Students Risk Priority Number (RPN) Cluster 1120 is created.
Adaptive Machine Learning Method 920 consists of four models. These models are responsible for analyzing corrective actions and preventive actions of individual students on a continuous basis and making updates and refinements for better student discipline outcomes.
For example, in the best-case scenario, the RPN value is around BAR and the severity ranking is either 1 or 2. In this case, the student completes a few corrective actions and preventive actions based on personal interest and instructional format attributes and moves to positive behavior category. In the worst-case scenario, the attributes value is around INT and AFAP and the severity ranking might be 5, 4, and 3. In this case, after the initial assignment of the corrective actions and preventive actions, it is extremely important to refine and customize the actions based on Adaptive Machine Learning Method 920. In the case of eLearning instructional format like online learning, these input attribute data play an important role in figuring out the corrective actions and preventive actions content and ensure they can adapt to the student environment by offering appropriate rewards. In the case of a teacher-student interactions, one-on-one coaching, role-playing, debate format, team based format, classroom format, one can visually notice genetic attributes (intellectual disability), physiological attributes (nervousness), and so on which help in further customization of student actions. One important feature of this system is to detect the student disabilities using genetic and physiological attributes data. In the case of a learning disability being present in the student, the system recommends special education to support physical, emotional, and mental well-being.
The first RPN Cluster Neural Network Model 922, is a framework for different machine learning algorithms like supervised learning and unsupervised learning to work together. The supervised learning includes algorithms like regression, Bayesian predictive learning model, and neural network. The unsupervised learning includes algorithm like Apriori and K-means. The model includes the input data as RPN, the initial corrective action and preventive action modules (nodes or neurons), and the output is customized corrective action and preventive action modules for each student. The connection between the input and neurons is called edge. The neurons and edges have weights that adjust as corrective actions and preventive actions are implemented and completed. It is noted that RPN Cluster Neural Network Model 922 framework is based on the self-organizing maps and adaptive resonance theory.
The second Bayesian Predictive Learning Model 924 is responsible for further refining corrective actions and preventive actions based on the individual student personal interest attribute data. The student corrective actions and preventive actions risk control module is further updated. This is done by calculating the probability of a given risk control module resulting in lowering the disciplinary actions, given the probability of the student's personal interest attribute data. If the student is enrolled in the sports which they do not like, then the corrective actions and preventive actions might not be effective. For example, student preference is soccer but is enrolled in basketball team. As listed in Table 182—Exemplary corrective actions and preventive actions is further refined and updated based on the Bayesian Predictive Learning Model 924.
The third Structured Prediction and Anomaly Detection Model 926 chooses the best instructional format for a corrective actions and preventive actions implementation based on student instructional format attributes. If for a given student instructional format attribute values are missing, then a probabilistic model is used to assign a missing value based on other attribute data. After the applicable student risk control modules, have been selected, the Structured Prediction and Anomaly Detection Model 926 uses the individual student's corrective actions and preventive actions presentation format attributes to present instructional methodologies that are consistent with the students' needs. Individual corrective actions and preventive actions are combined to create a set for a group of students for more structured, efficient implementation.
The student corrective actions and preventive actions presentation environment can be based on the instructional format attribute. In some cases, it is independent study, teacher-student interactions, one-on-one coaching, role-playing, debate format, team based format, classroom format, experimental learning, parent tutoring, online learning, watching a video and so on. This refinement is very important because if the student preference is one-on-one coaching, then the corrective actions and preventive actions implemented via video format might not be effective. Student disciplinary assessment is done by comparing a students' actual corrective actions and preventive actions completion achievements with a desired standard of achievement as outlined in the RRPN clustering. An anomaly in a student can be detected based on events or observations which raise suspicion by differing significantly from the majority of student data.
In the fourth Reinforcement Learning Model 928, focus is to maximize the cumulative reward. This is determined by sensing various parameters and student interactions while working on corrective actions and preventive actions. The student reward can be in the form of participation certificate, medals, outstanding athlete award certificate and so on. The evaluation of overall residual risk acceptability through RRPN cluster neural network and RSDR are used to determine the final student disciplinary outcomes, like expulsion, suspension, referrals, disruptive behavior, and positive behavior. The objective is for the student to move to the “positive behavior” category, where there is no student disciplinary action required. The student is also awarded points and grades based on the corrective actions and preventive actions completion.
In summary, the Crime Alerts Personalized and Adaptive Machine Learning Methods 900 focuses on the students' safety performance to find the right balance between current disciplinary actions, like expulsion, suspension, referrals, disruptive behavior, and uncharted territory. The overall disciplinary action count and crime alerts risks should decrease and student should move to positive behavior category. There is a correlation between severity, RPN, RRPN and student disciplinary data like expulsion, suspension, referrals, disruptive behavior, and positive behavior.
The Crime Alerts Risk Management Process 1000 consists of steps 1002-1004-1006-1008-1010 which are part of Personalized Machine Learning Method 910 and process steps 1012-1014-1016-1018-1020 are part of Adaptive Machine Learning Method 920. The complete processing steps are collectively part of Risk Management 1050.
Risk Analysis 1004 process step involves systematic use of available student's Crime Alerts Big Data 1002 to identify hazards and to estimate the risk.
Risk Evaluation (RPN) 1006 process step compares the estimated risk against given risk criteria to determine the acceptability of the risk. The RPN criteria ranges are categorized as Intolerable (INT), As Far As Possible (AFAP), and Broadly Acceptable Region (BAR). The disciplinary actions are also assigned based on crime alert severity and RPN. The assigned disciplinary actions can be Expulsion, Suspension, Referrals, and Disruptive Behavior. Students who reported the crime and were either victim or were not involved in the crime are tagged with the Positive Behavior.
Risk Reduction Required 1008 process step involves review of the identified risks. Some of the student's crime alert risks can be eliminated and other risks requires risk controls in the form of corrective actions and preventive actions.
Risk Controls—CAPAs 1010 process steps is an automated step where measures such as corrective actions and preventive actions are assigned based on overall student attributes like personal profile, performance, cognitive skills, behavior, genetic, physiological characteristics, family background, personal interest and instructional format. [00220] As listed in Table 172—Exemplary corrective actions and preventive actions are assigned based on the Personalized Machine Learning Method 910.
Risk Controls—CAPAs Bayesian Refinement 1012 is a process step in which corrective actions and preventive actions are refined and updated based on the student's personal interest attributes. As listed in Table 182—Exemplary corrective actions and preventive actions is further refined and updated based on the Bayesian Predictive Learning Model 924.
Risk Controls—CAPAs Structured Refinement 1014 is a process step in which corrective actions and preventive actions are further refined and updated based on student instructional format. As listed in Table 182—Exemplary corrective actions and preventive actions is further refined and updated based on the Structured Prediction Learning Model 924.
Implementation of Risk Control measures 1016 is a process step in which corrective actions and preventive actions are implemented by which risks are reduced to, or maintained within, specified levels.
Reinforcement Learning 1018 process step has machine learning technique that rewards the student on successful completion of corrective actions and preventive actions. The student reward can be in the form of participation certificate, medals, outstanding athlete award certificate and so on.
Evaluation of Overall Residual Risk Acceptability (RRPN) 1020 process step compares the residual risk against given risk criteria to determine the acceptability of the risk. The RRPN criteria ranges are categorized as Intolerable (INT), As Far As Possible (AFAP), and Broadly Acceptable Region (BAR). The residual assigned disciplinary actions can be Expulsion, Suspension, Referrals, Disruptive Behavior, and Positive Behavior. After the implementation of corrective actions and preventive actions, students should move to lower discipline ranking. Eventually the student should be in the Positive Behavior category.
Risk Monitoring 1022 involves real time crime alerts monitoring, trending, reporting and continuing to identify and manage new risks.
The clustering can be hierarchical, centroidal, distributional, or so on. In one of the scenarios, centroid k means algorithm can be used to assign the students to the nearest cluster's center. In the first level of clustering, it is to the nearest student's attributes level mean, and in the case of the second level, it is to the nearest SDR and RPN mean. For third level, it is to the nearest RSDR and RRPN mean.
The first level of clustering is based on students' attributes. It is created on a set of each attribute, which is divided into subsets from students so that observations within the same attribute clusters are similar and the input attribute data can be mined correctly. Probabilistic assumption is generated in place of missing attribute data based on the student and larger group data. The student attribute clusters are personal profile, performance, cognitive skills, behavior, genetic, physiological characteristics, family background, personal interest and instructional format, and so on. In addition, an overall student's attributes cluster is created.
The second level of clustering is based on Students Discipline Ranking (SDR) Cluster 1110 and Students Risk Priority Number (RPN) Cluster 1120. The student discipline ranking number is categorized from 1-5 as shown in Table 162. As an example, the students discipline ranking values are centered around the centroid mean for each of the 1-5 ranges. The RPN is categorized by numbers from 1-125 as shown in Table 154. In this case students RPN values are centered around the centroid mean for each of the INT, AFAP and BAR ranges.
The third level of clustering is based on Residual Students Discipline Ranking (RSDR) Cluster 1130 and Residual Students Risk Priority Number (RRPN) Cluster 1140. They are similar to Students Discipline Ranking (SDR) Cluster 1110 and Students Risk Priority Number (RPN) Cluster 1120 but are calculated after the student's corrective actions and preventive actions have been implemented and completed.
The initial and final state of disciplinary actions are DAi=DAf={Expulsion, Suspension, Referrals, Disruptive Behavior, Positive Behavior}. The goal is to decrease the final disciplinary “DAf” disciplinary action count substantially. The corrective actions and preventive actions implemented result in a significant reduction in school crime, and students move to the “Positive Behavior” category. The student positive behavior for example, can be attentive, alert, calm, cheerful, well-groomed, engaging, stays on task, consistent, goal-directed, inquisitive, accepts mistakes, willing to try again, asks for help, cooperative, takes initiative, agreeing, making balanced criticisms, approving, showing affection, protecting, praising, understanding and forgiving, and so on.

In step 1318, computing environment 1300 can calculate from the plurality of signals an optimal safety strategy to reduce the school crime from the plurality of Smart Student ID Cards. This allows the School Security Staff 106 to put appropriate controls in place. In addition to CAPAs this can be in the form of video surveillance cameras, armed guards, facility access controls and so on at the location with highest crime alerts.
Table 142—Severity Ranking, Definition and Failure Effects Description contains detail information about crime alert severity ranking. The table describes potential failure effects associated with severity of harm.
The crime alert severity ranking is classified as Catastrophic=5, Critical=4, Serious=3, Minor=2, and Negligible=1. The crime alert type is mapped to crime alert severity ranking. For example, crime alert type severity number is set to active shooter=5, physical fight=4, and bullying=3. The table lists some of the crime alert type examples. Schools can customize the mapping between crime alert type and severity ranking.
Table 144—Probability of Occurrence Ranking, Definition and Description contains detail information about probability of occurrence ranking. The crime alert probability of occurrence ranking is classified as: Frequent=5, Probable=4, Occasional=3, Remote=2, and Improbable=1. The crime alert occurrence ranking provides information about number of time a given crime alert type is committed by a student.
Table 152—Detection Ranking, Definition and Description contains detail information about detection ranking. The crime alert detection ranking is classified as: Remote=5, Low=4, Moderate=3, High=2, and Very High=1. The detection ranking provides information about how easy or difficult to detect the student behavioral issues. This information can be mined through teacher's feedback on a student participation in the class, personal interest attributes, security camera, parent reports and so on.
Table 154—Risk Priority Number (RPN), Hazard Risk and Description Risk Priority Number is classified as: Intolerable (INT)=45-125, As Low As Possible (ALAP)=16-44, Broadly Acceptable Region (BAR)=1-15. The RPN cluster neural network model is used to take appropriate student disciplinary actions like expulsion, suspension, or referrals to reduce school violence. In ideal scenario after appropriate corrective actions and preventive actions are implemented there should be no disciplinary action required for the student.
Table 172—Exemplary corrective actions and preventive actions are assigned based on the personalized machine learning method. The student crime alert type is mapped to safety problem or harm to school student or staff based on the severity ranking. There is an auto assignment of the root cause based on the crime alert type and safety problem. The root cause can be further refined and updated and updated by the School Security Staff 106. The corrective actions and preventive actions are auto assigned by the Personalized Machine Learning Method 910. The table lists three exemplary crime alert types namely active shooter, physical fight and bullying and corresponding safety problems, root cause of the problem and associated corrective actions and preventive actions. The crime alert type column also contains information about the severity, occurrence, detection, RPN, and SDR rankings before the corrective actions and preventive actions are refined, updated and implemented. As an example, for crime alert type, physical fight initial preventive action is “Monitor aggressive student behavior and channel it towards activities like sports” and bullying preventive action is “Set positive expectations about the behavior of student” are further refined and updated based on the Adaptive Machine Learning Method 920 in Table 182.
The initial preventive action for crime alert type physical fight “Monitor aggressive student behavior and channel it towards activities like sports” is refined and updated into three preventive actions using Bayesian Predictive Learning Model 924 based on student interest in game of soccer. The Structured Prediction Learning Model 926 further refines these preventive actions based on student instructional format. These refinements are very important because they are based on individual student's preferences otherwise they corrective actions and preventive actions implementation will not be effective. The Reinforcement Learning Model 928 rewards the student in the form of participation certificate, medals and outstanding athlete award. The reinforcement learning model column also contains exemplary information about the residual severity, occurrence, detection, RRPN, and RSDR rankings after the corrective actions and preventive actions are refined, updated and implemented. This results in positive behavior by the student and reduction in school crime and violence.
Similarly, initial preventive action for crime alert type bullying “Set positive expectations about the behavior of student” is updated into three preventive actions using Bayesian Predictive Learning Model 924 based on student interest in the science projects. The Structured Prediction Model 926 refines these preventive actions based on student interest in physical science projects and instructional format. The physical science projects can be in the area of chemistry, environmental sciences, physics, electrical and so on based on student interest. The Reinforcement Learning Model 926 column also contains information about the residual severity, occurrence, detection, RRPN, and RSDR rankings after the corrective actions and preventive actions are refined, updated and implemented. Again, in this example also, the Reinforcement Learning Model 928 rewards the student in the form of participation certificate, medals and outstanding science student award. This results in positive behavior by the student and reduction in school crime and violence.
