Ethnomethodological study is an empirical investigation of the methodical features of various of ordinary concerted social activities. It studies the methodological features of such an activity to find out its rational and creative characters. The present paper takes up the idea of "methodical character of ordinary activity" in early stages of the ethnomethodological studies to highlight the intellectually unique position of the ethnomethodology as a study of society. The paper proposes that the uniqueness of ethnomethodology as social investigation is that methodological adequacy of the study comes solely from its subject of the study, i.e. people's methodology as parts of social facts under investigation. For it the methodology of people and the methodology of the observer/analyst are the same thing. People treat crimes, deviants, punishments and other normative phenomena as social facts. Therefore for the ethnomethodological study of normative social phenomena including crimes, punishments etc., social norms are seen as parts of noticeable and tangible facts, or the concreteness of the norm, which the paper calls the norm's body. The later part of the paper examines anethnomethodological classic of J.I.Kitsuse's work, "societal reactions to deviant behavior" (1962) as an example of successful realization of ethnomethodological initiative.
