Summon a naked malefactor to accept fine (5)
I believe the answer is:
evoke
'summon' is the definition.
(I know that evoke has the is a more specific form of the action summon)
'a naked malefactor to accept fine' is the wordplay.
'a naked malefactor' becomes 'eve' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'to accept' indicates putting letters inside.
'fine' becomes 'OK' (synonyms).
'eve' enclosing 'ok' is 'EVOKE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for evoke that I've seen before include "Draw forth (memories)" , "bring forth" , "Awake memories" , "Call up (memories, for instance)" , "Recall" .)
