Identity Theft in Today's World PDF
by McNally Megan McNally
Part of the Global Crime and Justice series
Description
This book accurately identifies the various forms of identity theft in simple, easy-to-understand terms, exposes exaggerated and erroneous information, and explains how everyone can take action to protect themselves.
Identity theft is a classic crime with a modern (and perhaps decidedly American) twist. The rise of technology over the past few decades-and its influence on the processes of modernization and globalization-has created many new opportunities for identity theft both locally and internationally. Moreover, this process has transformed the nature of identity from something largely personal to something almost purely financial. Although identity theft is not a global crime per se, it does pose a pervasive and universal threat that will need to be acknowledged and addressed by many nations throughout the world.
In this text, author Megan McNally examines the concept of identity theft in universal terms in order to understand what it is, how it is accomplished, and what the nations of the world can do-individually or collectively-to prevent it or respond to it.
