Potocká, Veronika ; Matoušková, Andrea (advisor) ; Pazlarová, Hana (referee)
The diploma thesis deals with families who face sudden separation of a loved one due to imprisonment. From previous experience the work differs in focusing primarily focused on the family, not prisoners. Theoretical part is devoted to conceptual and legislative definition, the negative effects of imprisonment and the specific needs of the prisoners families as an object of help. Thesis marginally touches on recidivism in the chapter about the family as an entity assist in the reintegration of prisoners and also highlights the potential risks that may family for imprisoned in the process mean. It results from foreign experience, which is traditionally ahead. The empirical part of the qualitative research carried out within of self-help groups of prisoners families provides insight into the specific experiences of families. Its purpose is both to draw attention to this marginalized social group and its needs, as well as outline effective assistance, which would deal with this life situation the best. POTOCKÁ, Veronika.

This thesis consists of two parts - a theoretical one and a practical one. In the theoretical part I explain the expressions and the subjects that provide this care in our republic. I also try to clarify the purpose and the sense of this care and the relations between penitentiary and post-penitentiary care.

The effect of selected types of penalties on the resocialization of convicts
Moudrý, Petr ; Bohuslav, Lukáš (referee)
The problem of resocialization of convicts and the effect of particular penalties on this process is a subject rather relatively neglected, but at the same time socially and legally fundamental. The success of the resocialization of offenders affects not only the entire criminal policy but also society as a whole. However, the view on this social dilemma is evolving over time. We do not longer examine the punishment as mere retribution, rather we expect it to protect society and have a positive effect on the convict. We also realize that most of the sentencing does not mean permanent exclusion from society. Therefore, the consequences of any sentence also affect us, the society. This phenomenon led me to analyze the three most severe sentences: imprisonment, house arrest, and community service. Gradually, I tried to investigate the outcome of the effects of these sentences on the offender's personality. During the analysis, I decided not to only benefit from the secondary data consisting of acknowledged publications, articles, studies, and concepts, but I also acquired findings from several interviews with experts within the sphere and convicts themselves. This allowed deep penetration into the topic not only from a theoretical point of view but also from a practical one. In the thesis, I critically...

The issues of juvenile criminal justice
Veselá, Tereza ; Hořák, Jaromír (advisor) ; Pelc, Vladimír (referee)
Problems of juvenile justice In my diploma thesis I deal with the issue of criminal justice over youth. Using the research analytical method, I try to describe juvenile delinquency, its causes, the development of juvenile delinquency in our territory and current legislation. I also devote other parts of the work to specific means of sanctioning young people, especially protective upbringing and imprisonment in its unconditional form. I am also subjecting the current legal regulation of these institutes to a comparison with other European regulations, from which we could be inspired when regulating the system of criminal justice over young people. I supplement the theoretical basis with statistics on juvenile delinquency and the administration of juvenile justice in the years 2016-2020 in order to provide an overview of not only the theoretical side, but also current practice. Keywords: Juvenile, youth, offenses, measures, protective upbringing, imprisonment

Pustówka, Urszula ; Hořák, Jaromír (advisor) ; Pelc, Vladimír (referee)
Imposing Punishments in Czech and Polish Legislations Abstract The comparison of the legal systems of individual states is an important source of inspiration for the further development of legislation. In my work I compare the legal regulation of punishments in the Czech Republic and in Poland, namely those of them which both Czech and Polish legal systems refer to as punishments. These are Czech fines, community service, imprisonment, and an exceptional sentence together with their Polish equivalents. The aim of the thesis is to find inspiration and stimuli for de lege ferenda considerations for further development of Czech criminal law by comparing Czech and Polish regulation of punishments, as well as the types of punishments most often imposed by courts in both countries. In the first part of the work I deal with the systems of criminal sanctions in both states in order to introduce the context for the subsequently analysed punishments. Furthermore, each part is devoted to one type of punishment and a comparison of its regulation in the Czech Republic and Poland. The second part is devoted to the Czech fine and the Polish sentence of grzywna, the third part to the Czech community service and the Polish sentence of imprisonment, the fourth part is related to the regulation of imprisonment, and the fifth...

(N=7) filled out a self- designed questionnaire about quality of life and were tested for health-oriented fitness with the Fitnessgram test battery. The partial motor tests evaluate endurance, muscle strength and flexibility. This measurement was hold before and after a ten weeks long organized exercise program. The ensembles III. (N=15) and IV.

Sentencing in criminal procedure
Vacík, Kamil ; Gřivna, Tomáš (advisor) ; Bohuslav, Lukáš (referee)
Sentencing in practice Abstract This rigorosum thesis is dedicated to principles applied during imposing a sentence on natural persons charged with a criminal offense. It focuses on the area of judicial discretion within legal limits for imposing particular sentences. It examines the purpose of sentences, especially with regard to its preventive (educational) as well as repressive function in relation to the offender. The thesis deals with the factors that a judge should take into account when considering the type of sentence and penalty with respect to both the preventive and repressive purpose of the sentence. The purposes are expanded on in the parts concerning imprisonment, financial penalty and expulsion. The thesis consists of eight chapters. The first one provides a general introduction to the principles of imposing sentences and the system of sentences, including the issue of a sentence purpose. In the second chapter, the author examines the application of principles of imposing sentences in relation to one offender. In this part, the author concentrates on cumulative sentences, in particular alternative ones, i.e. those with a predominantly educational function. Likewise, the author considers the effect of this type of sentences on correcting the behaviour of the offender who commits criminal...
