In an attempt to explain crime, Shaw and McKay broke a city down into five concentric zones, meaning that the first zone is the core of the city and the other zones expand away from it like ripples in a pond.
The core of the city is the downtown area or core business district, the next is the transitional zone, which is a temporary living zone with cheap housing for people like students . The next is the working class zone and the residential zone with single family homes and finally is the suburbia or commuter zone.

Trace the phases of evolution of human resource management?
The historical background to the management techniques of human resources are in vogue since ancient times. It's only in the past 100 odd years that the techniques and study of human behavior at work has become formal and structured with certain basic practices established as core and a host of other practices left to design and implement as per their individual business driven practices. As per Fisher, Schonfeldt and Shaw, in their book titled Human Resources Management, they have characterized the history of HRM as having evolved through four broad phases, the Craft system, the scientific system, the human relations approach and the prevalent organizational science-human resources approach.The Craft system refers to early trends noticed in Egypt and Babylon, where skills based training was provided to people to ensure a steady flow of craftsmen required to build huge monuments. By the 13th century, subsequently the trend was noticed in Europe and later craft guilds evolved to ensure not only the skill acquisition but regulate the conditions of employment, level of skill and improved production techniques. Most relevant in the domestic industry where generations of skilled workers trained and became experts in a particular skill.The Scientific Management approach was a key part of the industrial revolution typical of the nineteenth and early twentieth century. It was instilled in the principles of mass production and organization of work -- simple work skills and supervisory/managerial skills. This rapidly emerged as the assembly line approach to managing work flow, which later Fredrick Taylor (1856-1915) pioneered based on the philosophy that employees wanted to be used efficiently and money being the primary motivator. Over a period of time this was proved wrong as employee dissent grew and union issues surfaced. It was during this phase that employee welfare as a key HR practice emerged which redressed employee issues like recreational facilities, medical program and employee grievance systems.The Human Relations approach was an outcome of the famous studies undertaken by US social scientist Elton Mayo and Fritz Roethlisberger at the Western Electric's Hawthorne plant in Chicago.The Hawthorne Studies: As described in virtually every book written about management, the human relations or behavioral school of management began in 1927 with a group of studies conducted at the Hawthorne plant of Western Electric, an AT&T subsidiary. Curiously, these studies were prompted by an experiment carried out by the company's engineers between 1924 and 1932. Following the scientific management tradition, these engineers were applying research methods to answer job-related problems.Two groups were studied to determine the effects of different levels of illumination on worker performance. One group received increased illumination, while the other did not. A preliminary finding was that, when illumination was increased, the level of performance also increased. Surprisingly to the engineers, productivity also increased when the level of illumination was decreased almost to moonlight levels. One interpretation made of these results was that the employees involved in the experiment enjoyed being the centre of attention; they reacted positively because management cared about them. The reason for the increase in the production was not the physical but the psychological impact of the employee's attitude towards the job and towards the company. Such a phenomenon taking place in any research setting is now called the Hawthorne effect.As a result of these preliminary investigations, a team of researchers headed by Elton Mayo and F.J. Roethlisberger from Harvard conducted a lengthy series of experiments extending over a six year period. The conclusions they reached served as the bedrock of later developments in the human relations approach to management. Among their key findings were the following:· Economic incentives are less potent than generally believed ininfluencing employees to achieve high levels of output.· Leadership practices and work-group pressures profoundly influence employee satisfaction and performance.· Any factor influencing employee behaviour is embedded in a socialsystem. For instance, to understand the impact of pay on performance, you also have to understand the climate that exists in the work group and the leadership style of the superior.Leadership Style and Practices: As a consequence of the Hawthorne Studies, worker attitudes, morale, and group influences became a concern of researchers. A notable development of the nature occurred shortly after World War II at the University of Michigan. A group of social scientists formed an organization, later to be called the Institute for Social Research, to study those principles of leadership that were associated with highest productivity.Finally the Organizational Sciences approach to human resources management has brought the focus to the scientific process within organizations that can impact employee experience, and less on just the individual. Today's organizations focus on building their processes and policies and compete to emerge as 'preferred employers' (best employer). It is not uncommon for competing organizations to encourage the employees through advertising more and better employee-friendly initiatives like work-from-home jobs, careers for married couples, global work assignments and internal job postings and world class workplace infrastructures from in-campus cricket grounds to gymnasiums for employee well being. This is the HR that we now see around us.
