Identity Theft Reference, Surveys, Studies and Statistics

The Federal Trade Commission maintains a "Reference Desk" intended to serve as an

"Identity Theft Resource Library. You'll find important laws, reports and testimony from both the federal and state level with information relating to credit, privacy and information security, fraud alerts, and Social Security numbers."

This library contains links to many resources including National and State data as well as Testimony, actual Laws, Rules and other information available through their Deter, Detect, Defend Campaign:
