This journal has some great statistics and goes over a lot of detail pertaining to identity theft. It explains the urgency to report to the police department when you have been a victim, and also a nice statistic on how many actually do not report it. This was found using MCC’s online library so it is very creditable.

When you cite something from the database, remember to list the date you accessed it right before the URL. You did that in the third one, but not the first two.

Lol I too looked specifically at your citations. We need to try and get those hammered as outs as citations are like mathmatics; the hard part is in the details.
