Abstract
This paper presents a RAND project concerned with the use of computers as assistants in the logical analysis of large collections of factual data.
A system called the Relational Data File was developed for this purpose. The Relational Data File is briefly detailed and problems arising from its implementation are discussed.

Computer assisted frauds: An examination of offender and offense characteristics in relation to arrests
Previous studies on fighting computer-assisted frauds have attempted to assist law enforcement agencies (LEAs) to better understand important aspects of motivation, opportunity and deterrence. However, there have been few empirical studies on the ...
