The article outlines the key components of AR, including the Action Research Group and the Action Researcher. It highlights the importance of member participation, group dynamics, and social forces in facilitating effective organizational change.

It critiques criminology textbooks for their discouragement of field research and emphasizes the necessity of sociological methods to uncover discrepancies between law-breaking and law enforcement. Furthermore, the chapter challenges the traditional alignment of criminology with social-work orientations and calls for a shift towards rigorous scientific investigation of criminal subcultures and their relation to larger societal processes.
