Description
Identity theft is one of the fastest growing crimes in the United States and affects 10 million people nationwide every year. Identity theft, defined as crimes to which someone wrongfully obtains and uses another person's personal data has escalated into a 15 billion dollar industry. We hope through our research that we will be able to better understand the growing problems with identity theft that people pose today so we can help educate other college students on this issue. Our studies will outline the magnitude of this issue amongst MSU students specifically.
