Title: CONCLUSION

Conclusion

Identity theft is clearly a contested issue within the United States. By some considered a big problem whereas by others merely an exaggerated media item. A large majority of policy makers, consumer advocates, law enforcement agents and even business officials understand how identity theft generally causes both individual victims and society in general a lot of damage. Whether the problem is increasing or decreasing is, however, murky and contested territory. Despite all of its experience, the United States remains in search of both an accurate picture of the prevalence of identity theft as well as a system of countermeasures which can be effective enough to reduce the problem.
