Identity Theft
Across
America
INTRODUCTION
Identity theft
occurs
frequently to
people
nation wide.
Each year millions of
people become victims to
identity theft.
Identity theft is when
criminals steal
someone’s personal
information to acquire
money, homes, cars,
and other valuable
possessions.
Internet usage in the
past decade has left
both civilians and
businesses vulnerable
to identity theft.
Online buying
systems, credit
card numbers and
other personal
information are
readily available to
online hackers.
Criminals use this stolen
information for
themselves or sell it for a
price to others.
Identity thieves can usually
obtain personal information
by:
1) Stealing wallets that
contain identification
information, ATM and credit
cards;
2) Stealing bank statements
from your snail mail;
3) Diverting your mail from
its intended recipients by
submitting a change of
address form in the post
office;
4) Rummaging through your
trash for any personal data
and relevant papers;
5) Stealing personal
information from office and
school records
and 6) Intercepting or
obtaining information
transmitted electronically
via the Internet or through
fax
It can be very expensive to
clear your name after an ID
theft.
You could be denied loans,
new credit cards, corporate
benefits and jobs — and,
though very unlikely, you
could even be mistakenly
arrested by the authorities
as a result of crimes
committed in your name.
Identity thieves commonly
open new banking accounts
in your name
They can apply for new
credit cards using your
name and personal
information, make
fraudulent charges, and
leave the bills unpaid.
They may set up telephone
or other utility services in
your name and pay only the
minimum due and then not
pay for it eventually.
Some identity thieves apply
for loans, apartments,
memberships and
mortgages using stolen
identities.
ID Thieves print counterfeit
checks in a victim’s name.
They may take $ from your
bank accounts, put charges
on your credit cards, and
use your checks or credit to
make down payments for
cars, furniture, jewelry, and
other pricey items.
Some victims learn that
thieves have opened many
accounts in their name for a
very long period of time.
Your TASK
Mrs. Wood has just established an
Identity Theft Control Committee in
the hopes of advising Falkville
students and faculty on issues
related to identity theft at the
school and in our community.
She has asked the students in
Forensic Science to serve on this
committee. (This committee will
be affiliated with the Morgan
County Sheriff's Office who is
mandated to follow guidelines of
the Federal Trade Commission
and the US Department of Justice
Your objective is to use your
forensic expertise to:
• Examine and assess the
extent of the identity theft
problem across America.
• Examine the causes of
identity theft.
Develop a policy proposal that
addresses safety techniques
to protect people across
America.
• and to suggest ways to
implement these policies to
assure the safety of people in
our school and community.
The Research Process
Initially, you will be working on the
research process independently. You
will receive a series of questions to
answer. The questions you have may
not be the same as your neighbors. The
answers will be found on links listed on
the Wiki space. The worksheet will be
due at the end of class. You will receive
a grade on this worksheet.
Prepare a Powerpoint
You will then be assigned to work in
groups of three to create a powerpoint
using the answers on your worksheets.
You will be responsible for creating your
own slides based on your answers on
your worksheet. The slides may be
saved on the computer. Your slides
must include information and pictures.
Prepare a Powerpoint
Your group will then put your slides
together into one large powerpoint.
Slides may be transferred to one
computer using my thumb drive. You
may also include a clip of music at the
beginning of your presentation.The
powerpoint will be published on the
Forensic Wiki Space. Your group will
present the powerpoint to the class.
Why Change Policies?
• Evaluating an existing policy or product can
lead to improvements. Car companies, for
example, evaluate the current models’
advantages and disadvantages to make
improvements for next year’s models.
For Example
• Years ago, most public schools had very lax
security policies. Anyone could enter a school
and go anywhere in the building.
• Then, the increase in school violence forced
school officials to examine their existing
security policies. Many schools simply had the
policy of posting a sign at the entrance that all
visitors should report to the office.
• The main advantage to that policy was that the
only cost was the sign. However, the
disadvantage was that there was no way to
enforce it.
• Criminals, vandals or thieves who did not attend
the school could enter without visiting the office.
• Reviewing the advantages and disadvantages of
the security policies led to policy changes.
• Schools now require visitors to enter through the
main doors and sign in or obtain a pass. Some
schools can afford metal detectors and security
guards.
• The policies your group suggests in your
powerpoint should be something that improves
on the current policy.
• It should be worthwhile and founded in fact as
much as possible.
PREPARE A POWER POINT PRESENTAION
Address the following:
•A clear identification of the problem.
•An explanation of the causes of the problem.
•The identification of identity theft found worldwide.
•An explanation of how identity theft affects human health and behavior (physical,
psychological, and social).
•Screening tests for the identification and quantification of identity theft.
•An evaluation of current policies relating to the collection and processing of
physical evidence in cases relating to identity theft.
•An evaluation of the current policies related to identity theft at the federal, state
and local levels.
•The most effective and feasible lab policy.
•The most effective and feasible public policy.
Process:
•For each slide, include appropriate information, graphic(s), and references.
•Present your slideshow.
•Post your slide show on the Forensic Biology website at Bronx Science.

EVALUATION
Your grade will be determined according to the following scale:
• PowerPoint Presentation. (35%) Your PowerPoint presentation will consist of
10-15 slides. Use the guidelines outlined in the PowerPoint presentation
section of this quest as your guide. Make certain that your audience can
navigate easily from slide to slide. Your final slide must identify your class, list
the names of the students in the class and generate an MLA style list of the
sources you used throughout your previous slides. Be certain that each of your
slides is thoroughly designed and well prepared to make a positive visual
impact on the audience. Use qualitative and quantitative information. All kinds
of photographs, graphs, drawings, etc., can be presented. Be certain to gather
information from multiple sources and to synthesize the information well. Also,
utilize this information to succinctly state the problem, identify the causes of
the problem and formulate a clearly stated conclusion regarding the best
policy for forensic investigators and the public in general regarding identity
theft in America.
Written Reports (35%) You will be required to write mini research reports. In
order to do this, you will have to search the Internet for appropriate articles,
synthesize, analyze and draw conclusions from the information you have
collected. All information submitted must be appropriately documented and
must include the appropriate graphics to illustrate the content and conceptual
understanding behind the investigation.
Oral Evaluation (15%) You will serve as a guest speaker for all of the forensic
science classes at The Bronx High School of Science. Your oral PowerPoint
presentation will be graded on your familiarity with the topic, clarity of concepts,
use of visual aids, how well you held the audience’s attention, audibility and
grammar.
Bibliography (15%) Use the MLA format to correctly attribute information to all
rightful sources.
