Social and Economic Aspects

Identity theft entails several repercussions for victims. On the one hand, there usually is direct financial loss, the total amount can varies between some hundred dollars (or euros) to ten thousands of dollars; all depend on the type of fraud performed by the criminal using the stolen identity information. The financial loss as a result of ID-related crimes is addressed in section . And on the other hand are the less tangible losses, such as the amount of time required to resolve problems, the damage to financial reputation, but also the trauma the identity theft itself incurs on its victims, the continual fear that new damage may arise even if the case appears to be closed. This kind of less, or intangible, loss can be described as the social aspect of ID-related crime.
