Conditional discontinuance of criminal prosecution and settlement in prosecutorial practice - comparison At the outset, the first chapter outlines the possible alternatives in criminal proceedings and describes the principles of restorative justice. Following this, the thesis also elaborates on alternative sentences and alternatives to punishment, focusing on diversions. This thesis deals mainly with two diversions in criminal proceedings, which are conditional discontinuance of prosecution and settlement. These diversions are defined and compared using the method of literature search. The second chapter is devoted in detail to the legal conditions for the application of the CDCP.

The Principle of Subsidiarity of Criminal Repression
Brodňan, Zdeněk ; Šámal, Pavel (advisor) ; Mulák, Jiří (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with one of the key principles of criminal law - the principle of subsidiarity of criminal repression. This principle, now expressly formulated in Section 12 Subsection 2 of the Criminal Code, is the subject of interest of both legal theory and application practice. The research tries to answer the questions whether the current enshrinement of the principle of subsidiarity of criminal repression in the Criminal Code is necessary, whether the wording used is appropriate and whether this principle of application practice is handled appropriately. The thesis is divided into two parts: The first one deals with the theoretical definition of the examined principle and the concepts related to it. In the second part, specific practical cases are presented, which affect the principle of subsidiarity of criminal repression, and the methods of solving these cases are then compared with the conclusions made in the theoretical part. In the theoretical part, we first proceeded to an analysis of the professional literature that deals with this topic. This analysis first focuses on the legal regulation, where the concepts and conceptions of the crime are examined according to the current regulation and according to the previous regulation. Attention is also paid to distinguishing between...

Cassation and appeal in the criminal procedure code
Podlucký, Jakub ; Šámal, Pavel (advisor) ; Říha, Jiří (referee)
Cassation and appeal in the criminal procedure code Abstract The principle of cassation and appeal are the two basic principles that govern corrective criminal proceedings. This thesis maps the rate of their occurrence in the current legal regulation of Czech criminal proceedings and proposals for regulation in the new criminal code, the adoption of which has been discussed very frequently in recent years. Today, we can no longer find the principle of cassation or appeal in its pure form in any remedy, but there is always a combination of both principles with the predominance of one of them. The thesis thus tries to find a suitable combination of these principles for individual remedies. The first part of this thesis deal with the position of the cassation and appeal principle in the system of principles that govern the Czech criminal procedure and defines the definition of the appeal and cassation principle in their pure form. The second part describes a historical excursion of the position of the appeal and cassation principle in the criminal codes valid on the territory of the current Czech Republic from 1873 to 2001. The third part of this thesis deals with the current legal regulation, in particular the definition of the current concept of individual principles, their advantages and disadvantages, and...

The principle of subsidiarity in a criminal law
Raček, Pavel ; Novotný, Oto (advisor) ; Šámal, Pavel (referee)
The principle of subsidiarity in a criminal law Summary The Master's degree thesis analyzes the principle of subsidiarity in a criminal law as an actual topic beacause this principle is included in the new czech penal code in art. 12 para 2: "The crime responsibility and its consequences can be applied only in social harmful cases if an application of an other kind of a law responsibility is insufficient." However before the new penal code was passed the czech Constitutional Court and Supreme Court had dealed with the principle of subsidiarity in a criminal law in their judgments. The first chapter reports on a general definition of the principle of subsidiarity and the ultima ratio principle and concludes that the phrasing in the citied art. 12 para 2 is too "thin" because the criminal law should be subsidiary not only to the other law but also to the all social tools. The second chapter deals with the principle of subsidiarity as a rule for an interpretation. In the new czech penal code this principle can be used only for the interpretation of these words describing crimes which are not expressed to unequivocal. The next chapter refers to the german "theory of law goods" (Rechtsgutstheorie) and the term social harm. The judgements of the german Constitutional Court are taken into consideration. The...
