The ACCH records, housed at the Arizona Department of Public Safety (AZDPS), provide arrest and subsequent case disposition information (i.e., charges filed, convictions, sentences, etc.) for all felony, sexual, driving under the influence, and domestic violence-related offenses that take place throughout Arizona. Criminal history records are also a valuable resource for research within the criminal justice system. Researchers at the Arizona Statistical Analysis Center (SAC) of the Arizona Criminal Justice Commission used a repository extract provided by AZDPS to assess the identity theft-related (i.e., identity theft, aggravated identity theft, and identity trafficking) offenses present in the ACCH repository. The following report presents the findings of the identity theft research carried out by SAC researchers. Data is also provided regarding the completeness of records within the repository, specifically the percentage of arrest charges with subsequent case disposition information present in the repository by January 2011. The following are some of the key findings within the report: - All three identity theft-related offenses- identity theft, aggravated identity theft, and identity trafficking- increased substantially in the total number of arrests and arrest charges over the reporting period. Identity theft arrest charges increased by 455.6 percent from FY 2001 to FY 2010. Since both offenses did not debut in the Arizona Revised Statutes until FY 2006, aggravated identity theft and identity trafficking arrest charges increased by 113.8 and 45.0 percent, respectively, from FY 2006 to FY 2010. - From FY 2001 to FY 2010, 37.2 percent of identity theft-related arrest charges in the ACCH were missing case disposition information. With the exception of complex cases, FY 2010 arrest charges had the maximum 180 days for disposition processing in the AZDPS data extract, as outlined by Arizona Supreme Court Rule 8.2.a.(2). - Over the ten-year period, the percentage of identity theft-related arrest charges leading to an identity theft-related conviction ranged between 11.8 and 20.6 percent. - More probation sentences were assigned to identity theft convictions than any other sentence type. For aggravated identity theft and identity trafficking, convictions were given prison sentences more than any other sentence. Identity trafficking convictions led to a prison or jail sentence 80 percent of the time or greater, followed by aggravated identity theft at greater than 75 percent, and identity theft at more than 50 percent from FY 2001 to FY 2010. - Offenders arrested for or convicted of identity theft-related charges were likely to be white males between the ages of 25 and 34.
