Identity theft is being presented more and more often in the media as a 21st-century problem. Up to now, scientists in Poland have focused on adult identity thef offenders. In view of the dynamic development of new technologies in recent years, which is contributing both to the spread of identity theft as well as to young consumers’ growing share inbthe use of new technologies, I decided to look at the incidence of identity theft among juveniles.
The article describes selected criminological aspects of this relatively new offence, and attempts to show its commission by juveniles on the basis of court records, and to describe its prevention and combating. The article compares and contrasts data on the offence committed by juveniles with the corresponding figures for adult offenders, enhancing what we know about identity theft committed by Polish juveniles.
