Short Statement: The household identity theft questions are being removed from the NCVS-1 because the Bureau of Justice Statistics plans to conduct an Identity Theft Supplement (ITS) to the NCVS biannually, beginning in July of 2012. The decision to routinely implement the ITS, which will collect person-level data on consequences of and responses to identity theft, is in response to recommendations from the OIG Audit of the Department of Justice Efforts to Combat Identity Theft that the "NCVS be expanded to collect greater information about identity theft victims" (Audit Report 10-21). The data collected though the ITS will cover and expand upon the household level identity theft data collected through the core NCVS, rendering the household identity theft questions unnecessary and duplicative.
