Abstract: The Identity Theft Supplement (ITS) is a supplement to the National Crime Victimization Survey. The ITS is primarily an effort to assemble critical person-level information on the prevalence of identity theft, the characteristics of 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. The 2013 NCVS Sample Boost increased the NCVS sample in 11 states in order to evaluate the feasibility of collecting subnational estimates of victimization. From January-June of 2014, the Identity Theft Supplement (ITS) will be administered to all eligible NCVS respondents, including the boosted sample, resulting in an increase in ITS respondents and burden hours.
