Černovská, Veronika ; Šámal, Pavel (advisor) ; Vanduchová, Marie (referee)
Life imprisonment Resumé The purpose of my thesis is to penetrate into the issue of life imprisonment and to analyse consequences which are connected with its legislation. The death penalty was replaced by life imprisonment in our country in 1990. The penalty of life imprisonment as the toughest punishment in the legal system of the Czech Republic necessitates big attention, because it causes considerable harm to the human rights of people sentenced to it. That is why it is possible to impose life sentence only in compliance with the strict conditions and only for enumerated crimes, both stated in the penal code. Nevertheless, life imprisonment has its supporters and opponents as well as death penalty, because it has not only advantages in comparison with capital punishment, but also some disadvantages. The thesis tries to describe these problems and propose solutions to it. The thesis is composed of seven chapters, each of them dealing with the issue of life imprisonment from a different point of view. The chapters are thematically divided into subchapters. It is necessary to know the historical context to understand the present legislation of life imprisonment, therefore Chapter One looks at development of life imprisonment, briefly in the world, but it focuses mainly on its development in our territory...
