Babčaník, Michal ; Jelínek, Jiří (advisor) ; Gřivna, Tomáš (referee)
Resumé The aim of this final thesis is to evaluate stalking - the phenomenon which gained infamy over the last few decades - and its legal definition. Stalking or "dangerous pursuit" (literal translation name of the Czech criminal offence of stalking) is also a new offence under Czech Criminal Code no. 40/2009 which was entered into force on the 1st of January 2010. The main goal of this newly introduced criminal offence is to cover the psychological and social phenomenon of the same name, stalking, and the main goal of this thesis is to critically assess whether this criminal offence, "dangerous pursuit", is successful in criminalizing the stalking phenomenon and whether its form is an effective instrument in fighting stalking. The thesis begins with a short overview which aims to unveil the main ratio behind the call for a legal regulation of stalking. Then a psychological and social peek into the depths of this phenomenon follows (encompassing some of the most widely used typologies and even some clinical opinions on punishing and treating stalkers), which allows to critically evaluate the efficiency of that new criminal offence later on. After this explanation of stalking as a psychological and social phenomenon, comparing the various foreign legal definitions of stalking will follow. The Czech legal...

The Criminal Means of Dealing with Organized Crime
Coufalová, Bronislava ; Jelínek, Jiří (advisor) ; Sváček, Jan (referee) ; Polák, Peter (referee)
Presented dissertation is devoted to the criminal means of dealing with organized crime. Recently the organized crime has undoubtedly belonged to the category of most serious problems that the individual countries, including the Czech Republic, have had to cope with especially in the field of legislature. In our country this phenomenon became more visible after the fall of the totalitarian regime when the borders were opened. This resulted in the boost in the activity of foreign criminal societies and domestic criminal societies consequently. However, at the beginning the Czech legislature did not take any serious action thus providing free space for the organized crime to establish itself in the Czech Republic. It was the intensive calls for an action that would react to the current situation which spurred the legislature to make several more or less crucial changes prevailing up to now. When dealing with the organized crime, the tools of criminal substantive as well as procedural law appear to be the most effective ones. The organized crime as the most serious type of group crime can be effectively dealt with only through specific criminal-law institutes and mechanisms which can adequately fight against this phenomenon as far as revealing the perpetrators, penalizing and finally destroying the...

Criminal Law and Criminological Aspects of the Internet Criminality Key words: Internet, Criminal law, Criminology Abstract (EN): Internet criminality is a very young phenomenon; the internet itself was presented in the recent form only about 20 years ago.

Heranová, Simona ; Jelínek, Jiří (advisor) ; Polák, Peter (referee) ; Sváček, Jan (referee)
Dissertation: Criminal Legal Regulation of Fraudulent Conducts against Property Author: Simona Heranová Department: Department of Criminal Law Supervisor: Prof. JUDr. Jiří Jelínek, CSc. Keywords: Criminal offence, principle of subsidiarity of criminal repression, fraud, insurance fraud, credit fraud, grant fraud, damaging the EU's financial interests, Protection of property has been settled as one of the interests protected by criminal law, but the formulation of facts of criminal acts sanctioning fraudulent conduct has always interfered with some specific aspects of this type of crime, chiefly consisting in the diversity of methods of how to conduct the fraud. Taking a comprehensive view of criminal legislation sanctioning the fraud against property in the Czech criminal law in terms of the most basic facts of the crime the author of this dissertation depicts to what extent this legislation is unsettled and ambiguous even - while dealing with partial problems, which however have the same principles - inconsistent. By creating a common ground, putting accepted conclusions and assumptions from the literature and judicial practice in context, so far unsolved problems are drawn. These come especially with newly formulated and fundamentally altered facts of crime within the analyzed area, where the...

Alternative sentencing and its comparison with other European Union countries
Soukupová, Zlata ; Jelínek, Jiří (advisor) ; Herczeg, Jiří (referee)
The main aim of my thesis is to develop an analysis of current legislation governing alternative sentences, their possibilities and limits comparing it with other European Union countries. The thesis also examines the proposals de lege ferenda that could be used as a benchmark and a guide for future amendments to the current regulation. The notion of alternative sentencing became a global trend in the last two to three decades; this is the result of, inter alia, of continuous increase in the number of inmates, prison overcrowding and congestion of the judicial apparatus. Crescent crime and new forms of crime (especially economic) hit the Czech Republic as a former socialist country in the post-revolutionary times, very assertive. The results of studies and language experts warn against lax approach in the form of increased storage imprisonment and criminal policy tightening. There is also talk about crisis imprisonment. It is clear that an unconditional sentence of imprisonment has its benefits, such as preventive effect, in my opinion, however, the left especially serious crime offenders and recidivist behavior: "Nesit summum malum dolor, malum certe est." Instead of intramural prison environment with significant social and deviant subculture find great potential in alternative prison sentences, which are...

Hrbková, Miluše ; Jelínek, Jiří (advisor) ; Vanduchová, Marie (referee)
My thesis is called The Alternative Punishments in czech criminal law. I have chosen this topic as using alternative forms of sanctions alongside with traditional punishments is a product of the last decades in our legal order and remains very actual question untill now. The crime rate is constantly rating therefor it is necessary to react on it adequally with providing a wide range of sanctions. As one of the governing principles in czech criminal law is a principle of humanity the alternative punishments take a pricipal place in our legal order. The main purpose of my thesis is to analyse and clarify the particular forms of alternative punishments. Those sanctions bring a lot of advantages for convicted in contrary to other traditional punishments as they are not issolated from society and have a chance to re-educate themselves. The alternative punishments are useful and cheaper than short-term confinement. This thesis focuses on the analysis of the actual legislation, assesses changes brought by the new criminal code and defines proposals which would imporove the legislation in future. The thesis is composed of eight chapters. First chapter is subdivided into three parts. The first part deals with the term and purpose of the punishment, the second analysis theory of punishment and the third one discusses...
