Abstract: The Identity Theft Supplement (ITS) is a supplement to the National Crime Victimization Survey. The ITS is primarily an effort to assemble critical information about the prevalence of identity theft and its overall economic cost to victims. The ITS was also specifically designed to collect important characteristics of identity theft such as, the impact of victims, consequences of identity theft on victims, victims' interaction with law enforcement, and victim awareness of preventive measures to avoid or minimize their risk of becoming an identity theft victim. The 2008 Identity Theft Supplement (ITS) will be conducted from January through June 2008 using computer-assisted personal interviewing technology.
