Abstract

This report examines the type and frequency of derogatory issues contained in 881 Background Investigations (BI) and 812 Special Background Investigations (SBI) conducted by the Defense Investigative Service (DIS) in 1987 and 1988. Contingency table and graphical analytic techniques were used to compare the two investigative methods on the type and frequency of issues developed by the investigations. Analyses indicate there is little difference between the BI and the SBI in terms of type and amount of information obtained. Keywords: Background investigations; Residual analysis; Graphical analysis.
