Make identity theft a recordable crime

What the petition asks
Many people are victims of identity theft from abusive/coercive relationships which we think is being over looked and that needs to be changed. It can affect peoples livelihoods and mental health.
We think this will help give justice to everyone who has had their identity and their lives taken from them in domestic abusive relationships. It could help those write off debts that are not even theirs. Identity theft isn’t a recordable crime and that needs to change.
