Abstract: The Identity Theft Supplement (ITS) is a supplement to the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS). 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 Bureau of Justice Statistics requests clearance to conduct the 2016 and 2018 ITS. The NCVS and all related contacts and protocols for the 2016 and 2018 collection year will be separately approved by OMB (OMB NO: 1121-0111), and this request is specifically for a supplemental data collection instrument that will be added to the approved NCVS core from January, 2016 through June, 2016 and January, 2018 through June, 2018.
