ABSTRACT
THE previous chapters have reported many of the findings of the Berinsfield research. This final chapter considers some of the implications, and relates these to current problems of housing policy. Firstly, we discuss the role of the social scientist in housing research, and the relations between sociological findings and policy. The translation from one to the other inevitably involves value judgments. Secondly, some of the implications of the survey's findings for current policy are shown, and conclusions drawn when appropriate. Thirdly, the chapter makes one or two suggestions on general housing policy, based largely on the analysis in Chapter One.
