identity theft victims and offenders, the physical, emotional and
financial impact of identity theft on victims, and patterns of
victim reporting to the police, credit bureaus, and other
authorities. The 2012 ITS will be conducted from June through
December 2012 and the 2014 ITS will be conducted from June through
December 2014. Both supplement will use computer-assisted personal
interviewing technology.
