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?

1 Sanctioning of legal persons Abstract Sanctioning of legal person is a topic that is more than relevant.

Collective responsibility in moral judgment of school age children
Beranová, Anežka ; Klusák, Miroslav (advisor) ; Hříbková, Lenka (referee)
The issue of collective punishments is still relevant today. For example, if one child broke something and parents or teacher cannot find out who did it, what is the best to be done? Punish no one or all group, innocent including? According to the law of our society the innocent should not be punished but it is not relevant for school or family. On the contrary the collective punishment is common there. It is a matter of opinion and of course there are another circumstances in each particular guilt so it is difficult to say what kind of punishments is adequate and righteous which is not always the same thing. However what is the opinion of children themselves? And what does it tell us about their moral development? What is the school age children judgment of collective punishments and the collective responsibility? Jean Piaget asked these questions himself in his research of the collective responsibility in the moral judgment of school age children. His expectation was that the children's understanding of the collective responsibility will be similar as the understanding of "primitive" society. That means at first place there will be a believe in a punishment as a mystical act which will clean the society contaminated with a crime and does not matter who will be punished. However this expectation...

The purpose of my thesis is to analyse the life imprisonment and answer basic questions related to issue of this criminal sanction. It is necessary to study the life imprisonment from the perspective of the criminal law, but in the light of psychological and social aspects that are connected with the long-term imprisonment. The thesis is composed of six main chapters, which are divided into different subchapters. Each of these chapters is dedicated to several aspects of life imprisonment and this work is trying to give a global view of the life imprisonment. The Introduction is followed by Chapter One which defines the term and purpose of the punishment. This Chapter presents the history of the evolution of the punishment. This work describes development of the concept of the punishment from retribution and frighten to the modern comprehension that respects human rights and liberties.

However, the modern view prevailed not earlier than in the 19th century. The Chapter One also explains the system of the punishment. The Chapter Two examines the death penalty. The death penalty is a sanction that must be compared with the...

Violence, Guilt and Punishment in Selected Works of Nathaniel Hawthorne
Gemrichová, Marie ; Veselá, Pavla (advisor) ; Robbins, David Lee (referee)
The BA thesis explores selected writings of Nathaniel Hawthorne, who addressed in his works many themes that range from nature through difficult relationships of characters and their communities to Biblical allusions. Some of the prominent themes which can be explored in his novels (such as The Scarlet Letter, The House of the Seven Gables and Fanshawe) are the themes of violence, guilt and punishment. These chosen themes serve as topics that are treated individually in each novel. Consequently the novels are compared. The thesis first focuses on an exploration of the theme of violence, to which extent it appears in Hawthorne's novels, which characters are victims and transgressors, and where violence leads to. At the same time it explores the feeling of guilt of Hawthorne's characters, and whether guilt appears after a committed violent act, as well as the consequences that come in the form of the transgressors' punishment. Namely, I explore the relationship of Hester Prynne with Arthur Dimmesdale and Roger Chillingworth (The Scarlet Letter), the two original families of the Pyncheons and the Maules and the influence of the ancestors on their heirs (The House of the Seven Gables) and the actions of the mysterious "angler" compared to the deeds of the individuals around Harley College (Fanshawe)....
