Who Are the Victims of Identity Theft? The Effect of Demographics
Keith B. Anderson | Published in 2006
Using the Federal Trade Commission's 2003 identity theft survey data, this article examines the relationship between a person's demographic characteristics and the likelihood of experiencing identity theft. Among other factors, the risk of identity theft appears to be higher for people with higher incomes, for younger consumers, and for women. A person's risk of being a victim of identity theft may depend, at least in part, on how many noncash accounts the consumer has and the intensity of their use. It may also depend on where the consumer conducts business and the precautions the consumer exercises. Because data to measure these factors directly are not available, differences in the risk faced by demographic groups may reflect differences in these considerations. This article should be of interest to those who are concerned with educating consumers about limiting identity theft risk and to law enforcement authorities.

Victim Reporting Behaviors Following Identity Theft Victimization: Results From the National Crime Victimization Survey
Bradford W. Reyns, Ryan Randa | Published in 2017
The current study investigates the decision by victims to report the crime to the police following identity theft victimization. Potential influences on the reporting decision are framed around two criminal justice theories—focal concerns theory and Gottfredson and Gottfredson’s theory of criminal justice decision making. The data used to examine this decision were collected from a nationally representative sample of U.S. adults as a supplement to the 2012 National Crime Victimization Survey. Results suggest that the decision to contact law enforcement is based on the seriousness of the offense, the victim’s knowledge of who committed the crime and how it was perpetrated, as well as practical considerations. These findings parallel other research into victim decision making generally, while also highlighting factors that may be unique to identity theft, notably the effects of income. The results also support the use of criminal justice theory to study and understand victim decision making.

Towards Anti-cyberbullying: an e-book for LGBT Young People
Accept-LGBT Cyprus and Outcomers | Published in 2014
This e-book was completed by a group of young LGBT and non-LGBT people in a series of workshops conducted as part of a two week Erasmus plus exchange programme in Ireland and Cyprus, created by Dundalk Outcomers and Accept-LGBT Cyprus. Keeping in mind the importance and the seriousness of the potential effects of cyberbullying (psychological, physiological and behavioural), and recognising that the LGBT community are more targeted by cyberbullying than non-LGBT, we hope this e-book can be used as a “helping hand” towards anti-cyberbullying.
