An identity theft information is provided under the In the Spotlight section, which leads to a thought that that type of crime is a common crime and people should know about it more in terms of where the danger may come from and how to protect oneself from being robbed. This section gives an overview of different categories of identity theft, there is a useful list of known tricks through which thieves try to get your money. Robbers can get information from businesses or other institutions by: stealing records from their employer, bribing an employee who has access to these records, or hacking into the organization's computers; this important information can be of vital necessity to those who never paid attention to things like that. This section also tells a reader about new "innovative" decisions in this theft industry, which are not extensively known and employed. Another significant point is the information on who does the investigation of such type of crimes and the fact that these crimes are considered as separate crime against an individual. Also it gives an overall data about the penalties for theft crimes.
