Šklubalová, Markéta ; Grohmannová, Kateřina (advisor) ; Broža, Jiří (referee)
Risky behaviour in prison is very frequently international theme in last twenty years. Epidemic situation in some foreign prisons, which involved IDU too, asked for details studies and introduction certain measure. There are missing quality researches and good knowledge about this area in czech setting. The goal of my bachelor work is to probe into this problem. I want to find out the information about incarcerated persons, especially if they show some types of risky behaviours and if duration of the punishment and using patterns before incarceration influence these behaviours. I use a method of a quantitative research, the questionnaires. My research was realized in 2010 between active drug users released from prison. There are 22 respondents in my research so it is not possible to generalize acquired data. I recommend next continuing in this study, especially linking-up with more institutions and raise funds for extensive study.

Brandnerová, Michaela ; Běláčková, Vendula (advisor) ; Grohmannová, Kateřina (referee)
New psychoactive substances (NPS) are phenomena of growing diversity and relevance in recent times. Drug producers are trying to chemically modify classical drugs to avoid criminal prosecution, and are innovating their distribution strategies by selling over the internet. However, little is known about the toxicity and other properties of these substances, and therefore their potential to cause serious health problems remains to be properly investigated. The theoretical section is concerned with the description of different types of NPS, information regarding drugs and the internet and drug policy, followed by a summarization of the current situations in both, the Czech republic and Australia. In the practical section information about drug policy are compared, online marketting is discussed, as are seizures, prevalence systems, prevalence of problem regarding recreational drug users and the general population.

The drug policy in Australia differs throughout its territories, while in the Czech republic, the drug policy is united. Australia applies analogue laws and an individual list of restricted compounds. This list is being used in the Czech republic as well. The main goal of this...
