LIDOVÁ, Štěpánka
The diploma thesis deals with dilemmatic situations, which are solved by conditionally released individuals. It is primarily aimed at gaining and retaining employment and the resulting dilemma. The first part deals with the theoretical description of the process of reintegration of prisoners, the factor of work in the prison and the activities of the Probation and Mediation Service during parole. The next part of the work focuses on employment, reintegration tools and the dilemmatic situation of parole prisoners. In order to describe the dilemmatic situations that the target group experiences during the acquisition of the work, these were conducted in a sample of three informants as part of the survey using semi-structured interviews. As a result, several major dilemma situations have arisen. Quotations from interviews with informants are reflected in the work findings from the literature dealing with the issue of employment of people after serving a sentence of imprisonment. In the past, many researches have described dilemmas and dilemmatic situations that a probation officer or other parole worker. However, this work aims to point out the dilemmas that specifically address conditional release.

Pouska, Tomáš ; Bohuslav, Lukáš (advisor) ; Vokoun, Rudolf (referee)
1 Restrictions on personal freedom in theory and practice Abstract The subject of this rigorous thesis is the connection of the theoretical and practical concept of permissible interference with the personal freedom of an individual in criminal proceedings, with an emphasis on the protection of the fundamental rights and freedoms of the person concerned. The basis of the thesis is the description and more detailed definition of some specific institutes of criminal law, in the form of detention, arrest, detention and imprisonment, which seriously interfere with personal freedom and are directly connected with the imprisonment of persons. The rigorous thesis compares and analyzes the legal embedding of the above- mentioned criminal law instruments at the national and international level with their application in real life practice and points out some fundamental differences that occur when they are used by law enforcement authorities. Attention is primarily paid to the degree of compliance with the guarantees of permissible interference with personal freedom by public authorities, the legitimacy of individual interference and also their adequacy and proportionality in relation to the goal pursued by these means. The rigorous work examines whether these criminal law institutes are applied rationally, whether...

68 Constitutional Aspects of Imprisonment Focusing on the Protection of Family Life Abstract This thesis aim is to analyze some constitutional aspects of imprisonment relating to the fundamental rights and freedoms of convicts. The thesis is divided into two parts - the general part and the special part, which is aimed specifically at protecting family life. The general part theoretically deals with the definition of the meaning and purpose of imprisonment and its execution, the status of convicts as holders of fundamental rights and freedoms, constitutional limits of restrictions on their fundamental rights and freedoms, and the means of their judicial and other legal protection. Except for the third chapter dealing with the role of protection of family life when imposing a prison sentence, the special part focuses on the protection of family life during the period of imprisonment. It discusses the issue of placement and relocation of convicted parents, interventions in parental responsibility associated with the imposition of imprisonment, and analyzes specific institutes for protection of family life (such as visits, written and telephone communication, postponement or suspension of sentence, stay of the child with the mother in prison). The special part concludes with an overall evaluation of the...

A Comparison of Prisoners' Voting Rights Legislation in Europe
Rozman, Jakub ; Stauber, Jakub (advisor) ; Čapek, Jakub (referee)
This work illustrates, in both theoretical and practical terms, the tension between the standard of democratic establishment in the form of universal suffrage and, on the other hand, the exclusion of certain groups, in this case prisoners, from the electoral process. The right to free choice is the essence of a democratic society, and any limitation to it naturally raises questions seeking appropriate justification. While the weight of an individual's voice throughout society is insignificant, and only in rare cases can an individual or a small group influence the final outcome, the right to vote also serves another function - it is a symbol of a person's status in society as a citizen. The restrictive notion of prisoners' suffrage has its roots in the antiquated concept of "civil death" and typically makes a counterfactual argument. But society has gradually undergone fundamental changes, and modern justifications are being demanded. Legal punishment is the natural implication of committing a crime, but what must a person commit in order to have his or her citizenship temporarily or forever diminished in liberal democracies that espouse values such as equality, inclusiveness, and the right to self- determination?

Criminological aspects of Criminal recidivism
Rydlová, Kateřina ; Kopečný, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Šelleng, Dalibor (referee)
Criminal recidivism is one of the key issues that criminology deals with. By finding a way to eliminate or at least reduce criminal recidivism we would extensively reduce overall crime rates. That is why it is important to continue in examining the causes of recidivism and the efforts of its reducement, and to develop and increase the knowledge in this sphere in accordance with the constantly evolving and changing society, so that we can react flexibly to the changes. The goal of this thesis is to show the historical development of the institute, the causes of recidivism, and the possible ways of prevention. In the first chapter I explain the term and different concepts of criminal recidivism. In the second chapter I summarize the historical development of the legislation of recidivism in our country. Chapter three focuses on the current legislation of recidivism. Based on different circumstances, recidivism can be the reason for a stricter punishment. Chapter number four deals with the causes and predictors of recidivism. Generally speaking, we can divide the causes to external influences, internal influences, their motivation and finally, the way that the rest of the society perceives them. Lastly, chapter number six I talk about the current criminal rates and criminal recidivism in the Czech...
