Documentary abstract — original language
Digital identity theft occupies an important place in digital criminology. The proliferation of new identification technologies and ongoing digitalization of the market and state has created a plethora of opportunities for this form of cybercrime. Scholarship on digital identity theft has grown significantly, but there is significant variation in how digital identity theft is defined, mapped, and explained, resulting in sharp divergences over how it should be tackled. In this brief entry, we conceptualize and define the phenomenon, discuss its nature, contrast competing theoretical explanations (victim-centric, offender-centric, and relational), and conclude with a discussion on policy implications and future research.
