    Abstract: Sociology is often viewed as a change-the-world discipline, and indeed, AACS members and other applied and clinical sociologists continually demonstrate how the practice of sociology— sociology at work—can effect beneficial social change at micro, meso and macro levels. Unfortunately, too many sociology students complete their programs without ever learning how they can use their new knowledge to make a difference, or, worse, to make a living. This address discusses the disconnect between what sociology students learn in school and the real world that awaits them when they graduate, and calls on members to join AACS in working to mentor a new generation into the practice of real-world sociology.

    Abstract: This article looks at the role sociologists can play as expert witnesses in the court of law. It does so by examining Agran vs. City of New York (1995), a federal civil rights case wherein original social research was undertaken specifically to establish whether the defendant did damages to the plaintiff. While the establishment of damages was secondary to the primary question of whether the plaintiff's civil rights were violated, this use of primary research in a civil case provides an interesting example of what possibilities exist for applied social researchers. Sociologists have increasingly become involved in courtroom appearances as expert witnesses. While at times their testimony is used to challenge the knowledge claims of medicine and psychology or attempts to define the limits of moral accountability of defendants (Jenkins and Kroll-Smith 1996), more often sociologists draw on their personal expertise to humanize defendants and/or help to clarify defendants 'criminal culpability (Yablonsky 2002).

    Abstract: Program evaluation often casts the social scientist in multiple roles that require the use of various methods and skills to deliver the product or products desired by the hiring agency. Social scientists engaged in evaluation research often find their roles being expanded beyond those articulated in their contracts. Balancing these numerous demands while maintaining professional integrity can be both challenging and rewarding in terms of professional growth and expansion of one's professional network. This article focuses on the experiences of one research team working with a law enforcement agency in a midsized city in the Southwest during the first two years of the implementation of a Weed and Seed program. Nimbleness of method, expansion of the evaluator's role, and the reality of unexpected challenges are the primary lessons to be drawn from this experience.
