Description

This report describes the prevalence of identity theft, its victims, and the characteristics and effects of this crime. Data were taken from the 2012 Identity Theft Supplement (ITS) of the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS). This report shows that about 7% of persons age 16 or older were victims of identity theft in 2012. The majority of identity theft incidents (85%) involved the fraudulent use of existing account information, such as credit card or bank account information. Over half of identity theft victims who were able to resolve any associated problems did so in a day or less; among victims who had personal information used for fraudulent purposes, 29% spent a month or more resolving problems. Direct and indirect losses from identity theft totaled $24.7 billion in 2012. Figures and tables. This is a print on demand report.
