Identity crime is not the “crime of the millennium”, something that is out of control or about to become out of control. Much contemporary identity crime is a creature of the media, rather than the internet. It does not require radical new legislation or special agencies. Perceptions of incidence, severity and demographics are influenced by how journalists report particular offences, how offences are conceptualised by law enforcement personnel and whether some information is identified by data custodians. | bruce arnold
