1 ABSTRACT Criminal liability in public procurements The thesis deals with the criminal liability in public procurements. Public procurement is a very complex and organized activity, the criminal assessment of which, however, cannot reliably lead to satisfactory results on the basis of existing doctrine. The primary goal of this work is therefore to identify the roles and extent of criminal liability of individual actors in the decision- making process of public administration and on this basis to analyze which type of negotiations concerning public procurement may be punished under a special part of the Criminal Code. The importance of effective prosecution of criminal offenses relating to public procurement results from the fact that amount of funds in public procurement correspond to tenth of gross domestic product. For easier orientation of the reader, a formal structure was chosen so that, as far as possible, it comes as close as possible to the standard criminal law teaching on elements of a crime. Specifically, the chapters are divided into actions in public administration, its criminal relevance, the consequence in public administration, the subject, the subjective aspect, circumstances precluding illegality and finally to crimes related to public procurement.

Criminal liability of Corporations
Felix, Adam ; Jelínek, Jiří (advisor) ; Fenyk, Jaroslav (referee) ; Bohuslav, Lukáš (referee)
Criminal liability of Corporations Abstract Criminal liability of corporations is still a current topic of Czech legal theory and practice. In order to properly grasp this new institute within the Czech legal system, it is necessary to understand the very nature and basics of legal entities, their formation and further existence. Historically, legal entities have been perceived differently and a relatively complex legal-philosophical path has led to the inference of any liability for wrongdoings or torts. Although the criminal liability of corporations is not unknown to continental law, its decline during the 18th and 19th centuries has led to the disappearance of the legal continuity. That is why it may seem today that the introduction of direct criminal liability of corporations is something completely new and absolutely unknown to countries of continental legal tradition. In this work, the author presents a number of historical arguments as to why this is not the case and demonstrates that this institute was known throughout the legal systems throughout Europe. For a better understanding of the whole issue, the interpretation is guided from the very philosophical and legal-historical foundations of corporate theories, through their later development and finally to application by recent law. The core of...

Štůsek, Jaromír ; Gřivna, Tomáš (advisor) ; Bohuslav, Lukáš (referee) ; Kalvodová, Věra (referee)
Criminal acts committed by racial, national and other hateful motives Abstract in english The dissertation thesis is focused on the issue of crimes committed by racial, national and other hate motives, which are nowadays commonly referred to as hate crimes. The dissertation thesis comprehensively elaborates the essence of the issue of hate crimes and the ideas on which this crime is based on. The thesis points to a relatively rich but very inconsistent and constantly evolving terminology and defines related terms such as extremism, racism, anti-Semitism, anti-Islamism or racial prejudice. It should be recalled that the notion of hate crime is not entirely appropriate to this issue. A closer interpretation of the individual terms is important for the correct interpretation of the relevant facts that are affected by this issue. The analysis of related criminal offenses and related case-law demonstrates what conduct these crimes may impact. We have to realize that the issue is very closely related to the constitutionally guaranteed freedom of speech and expression, and they are very closely intertwined. To define the boundary between an offense and the right of an individual freely expressing their opinions in word, writing, print, image or otherwise, as well as freely seeking, receiving and disseminating...

Skolil, Ondřej ; Bohuslav, Lukáš (advisor) ; Vokoun, Rudolf (referee)
Settlement in criminal proceeding - Abstract The topic of this diploma thesis is settlement in criminal proceedings, which is one of the diversions, which has had its position in our criminal procedure law for more than 20 years. The settlement is a diversion, which contains the most restorative justice principles. This is the reason, why the text of this thesis does not only deal with the settlement itself, but also with other diversions, as well as with the restorative justice principles. The main objective of this principle is not punishing the offender, but restoring the disturbed relationships between the offender and the victim. Despite the fact that the settlement is beneficial for defendant, because it leads to cessation of prosecution, for victim, who has an easier access to obtain their compensation and also for the whole society, because it prevents the defendant to commit other crimes, it is not used so often in practice as much as for example conditional suspension of criminal prosecution. The thesis is divided into three chapters. The first chapter deals with the term diversion, restorative justice function principles and then with all types of diversions, which are enacted by our criminal procedure law. The statistics then show sometimes giant differences in the usage of particular types of...
