I have an email into the agent I interned with to see if she has any insight on how i could narrow my topic. I asked if there were any crimes in particular that she has seen a rise in and that she finds interesting regarding the internet and identity theft and identity fraud. Where could I find some other sources about internet and crimes?

Jenna,
Try doing subject searches in the library catalog for "computer crimes" and for "internet fraud". You'll find several books including a case study. You can also try a keyword search for "Cyberspace and crime".
You find lots of articles on the subject, so you'll need to focus on something more specific, but try going to the library's Indexes & Databases page and searching in Academic Search Premier. Try keyword phrases such as "cyberspace and crime", or "computer crimes". You'll find articles dealing with music piracy, phishing, etc.
Hope this helps, and come by the reference desk if I can help further as you narrow your topic.
While I was looking for books on my topic, I found one that would be good for yours! "Music Piracy and Crime Theory" by Hinduja, Sameer. I found it in the library databases and you can access it online, it talks a lot about cyber crimes.
