SELF HARM IN ADOLESCENCE
BOBÁKOVÁ, Lenka
The work deals with self-harm as a maladaptive coping strategy. Emphasis is placed on adolescence as a risk period and on youth subcultures as a risk environment for emergence of this phenomenon. Attention is also paid to the internet and the real environment and their role in self-harm behavior. The aim was to identify possible causes of adolescent self-harm, who are part of the Emo subculture and any effect of the subculture of self-harm behaviors. Another objective was to find out where asolescents learned about this behavior and what is the role of ?social contagion?. The research was conducted qualitatively. Data were collected through semi-structured online interviews. These were conducted with four girls aged 13?15 years, who identify with the risk Emo subculture and have personal experience with self-harm. The data was then compiled into case studies of individual respondents. The research results showed that the causes of adolescent self-harm respondents are individual and there are always the role of several factors. Among these are: complicated relationships at home, problems at school, depression, loneliness and problematic relationship to own body. A direct link between the Emo subculture and self-harm, I didn´t discover. All respondents denied the influence of subculture. However, concerning the ?social contagion? self-harm behavior, this played the specific role by all respondents.

The relationship with the Police ČR and choosen nonconforming subcultures
ŠUPLER, Josef
The aim of my bachelor thesis was to describe the attitudes of the Police members in the CR to chosen subcultures existing in contemporary Czech society as well as identify possible antipathies towards certain subcultures. In the theoretical part I focused on defining relevant terms such as attitude, prejudice, stereotype and subculture. However, the major part of the literature search deals with particular subcultures like graffiti artists, participants in illegal free techno parties, hooligans, skinheads, anarchists, satanists, EMO style and gay and lesbian subcultures. Each subculture is briefly characterized, including its short history. Before starting the investigation I defined two hypotheses. Hypothesis no.1: Respondents inthe age group of 26 ? 35 years view the subcultures in a more positive way than the respondents over 55 years of age. This hypothesis was not proved. The views of the respondents were not significantly different. Hypothesis no.2: The subcultures which the respondents encounter when in service are viewed more negatively by them than the subcultures which they do not ever encounter. This hypothesis was proved. During the investigation I used the technique of quantitative-qualitative research according to my own questionnaire, together with in-depth interviews with several chosen respondents. The anonymous questionnaire was filled in by 106 respondents ? members of the Police of the Czech Republic, out of which there were 78 men and 28 women. The survey contained both the questions about the respondents and other questions related to particular nonconformist subcultures.The in-depth interviews were carried out with 6 respondents in order to investigate their attitudes more thoroughly.
