The "Files" are located in the ~/Library/Logs/. To see a different user's logs, you have to sign in with that user's login.

To see the "Diagnostic and Usage Information" section, it's located in ~/Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports. Each crash log file is named with the name of the app or process that crashed, and the date. And sometimes the same log is shown in 2 or 3 places.

This screenshot is of the Console application. You can find it in /Applications/Utilities/Console.app
