From the Paper:

"Identification theft has become a topic of serious discussion in recent years. As more and more of our personal information has been uploaded to computer databases (especially since the beginning of the 1990s), more of that information is now available to "cyber-hackers" and other white-collar criminals. This paper will explore the issue of identity theft by exploring what identity theft is, its various ramifications, how it can be avoided, how to report it within Canada and what the statistics are with regards to this very serious problem."
