these days the problem is exacerbated because ID deception and theft

knows no bounds, thanks to the Internet. There's no clear understanding

of the size of the problem or its nature. And, the job of cracking down

on identity crime globally is made all the more difficult for

authorities by the use of inconsistent terminology. The legal system has

been slow to appreciate the breadth and complexity of ID crime, say a

team of researchers at the Australian School of Business. But that's all

about to change.
