Describe how dehumanization makes victimization easier for identity thieves to commit their crimes
What will be an ideal response?

• Identity thieves can commit their crimes knowing little about their victim.
• They do not meet victim face to face, though they may have a photo or image of the victim.
• Identity thieves need only basic information about their victim (e.g., age, social security number, date of birth, bank routing number).
• The nature of the crime makes it unlikely that they will have to confront the victim as a person.
