Sociology in action poses a challenge for Britain and a challenge for British sociologists. Sociology has a very considerable contribution to make to issues of the day, whether at the level of public policy formulation, professional practice or public discussion and media presentation. This and many of the following chapters reflect upon the contribution that sociology has made and is making, and how it could be made greater. Sociology in action, sociology in practice, sociology applied to real-world situations is their theme.
