Identity theft victimizations can be complex and challenge every area of the justice system in protecting communities and addressing victimization.

Hosted by the Texas Department of Public Safety-Victim Services, the interactive victim assistance Summit will encourage participants to contribute their experiences and strategies in identity theft victim assistance. The Summit will use state and national experts to address a range of identity theft victim assistance issues to include:

• The types and generations of identity theft

• Identity theft laws

• Identity theft awareness and protection strategies

• Identity theft victim assistance tools
