Domestic violence, institute of expulsion from view of Policie ČR (novel of rule no. 273/2008 Sb., o Policii ČR)
NEUSCHEL, Zdeněk
Domestic violence is a social-pathology phenomenon, which requires a complex solution in terms of inter-disciplinary attitude. Key role in the system is the one of the Police of the Czech Republic (further PCR), which in most cases gets first into the contact with a victim and an offender and is authorized to the control and prevention of unacceptable act. According to the legal situation the policemen should secure the safety of an endangered individual, document the incident, effectively regulate a violent person and handle the specific communication with the victim of domestic violence. This thesis deals with the procedure of police organs at the solution of incidents, showing the signs of domestic violence in the connection to the adoption of Act No. 273/2008 Coll., on the PCR, which has been valid since 1st January 2009, and its comparison to the previous legal regulations solving the problems of domestic violence. The objective of the thesis is the description of valid legal regulations, their comparison to the previous state which was solved by the amendment of the original law on the Police of the Czech Republic carried out by the Act No. 135/2006 Coll., on protection against domestic violence valid from 1st January 2007 to 31st December 2008 and the assessment of present development, especially if the simplification of work of PCR organs in this area (institute of expulsion of a violent person at the solution of incidents with the signs of domestic violence) influences the work of police and solution of these cases. The thesis itself was carried out by the method of questioning, the form of non-standardized interview in terms of qualitative research. The interview was carried out in the sample of police members, placed in basic police stations, where they solve the issue of domestic violence. The interview was also carried out with officials of various command types in the sphere of Regional Police Headquarters of South Bohemian Region. Other respondents were the workers of intervention centres, employees of social and law protection of children institutions and the workers of non-profit organizations functioning in South Bohemian Region and the analysis of study case. By the change of legal regulations the process concerning expulsion of violent person was changed (from the procedure in administrative action to authorisation of a police officer according to the law on PCR). It was found out that by the change in the procedure at expulsion of violent person out of the house by a police organ the course of expulsion became faster and also the possibility of efficient protection of an endangered individual. The change of the process has no effect on the incident assessment.

Other crimes of the perpetrators of domestic violence
DVOŘÁK, Vlastimil
Domestic violence is a serious problem of our population; it is the most wide-spread form of violence concerning all groups of inhabitants. At home violence other criminal offences are committed simultaneously but no statistics observes the connection between home violence and committed crime of violent character. If the communication with surroundings fails, verbal violence (belittling, threat, invectives) or non-verbal violence (rejecting of communication as the means of exaction, signs of assailing by a gesture and of course violent aggression itself) come. The term ``home{\crqq} is not only a place where an aggressor and a victim live; it is a subjective term for the place and group of people. Home and a group of people cannot be situated in a specific place. Nevertheless, home and home environment is in places, which are out of the public control and a group of people is separate from the others. In these surroundings the relationships among particular individuals, parents, children, siblings and partners are included. As there is no typical victim of domestic violence, there is no typical offender of domestic violence. Belonging to a social group on the social, racial or other basis, age, job, nationality does not suppose the creating of certain typical features. The thesis and its research are focused on the issue of domestic violence as well as the issue of committed criminal offences before and after the course of domestic violence. The first hypothesis is that the offenders are people with the criminal past, which was not proved by a quantitative research. The second hypothesis that offenders with the criminal past commit violent criminal activities more frequently than property or other criminal activities was proved. However, its relevancy was weakened by the participation of respondents, or sociological structure of respondents. The results of the research on domestic violence were identified with generally admitted and respected facts. Respondents´ answers did not differ from the results of other statistic investigations but it was necessary to clear the results from subjective impressions of respondents-police officers, which come out of the character of their jobs. The use of potential marking of possible violent activity offenders or domestic violence committing with respect to their past criminal cases is available for the needs of region section basic units (the Police of the Czech Republic).

The destinies of women in the asylum home in Tabor
PERNÍKOVÁ, Dana
My thesis focuses on the fates of women living in the Sanctuary Home in Tábor. The theoretical part deals with sanctuary homes and related services in general. I concentrated on competencies of a social worker pursuant to the Social Service Act 108/2006 Col. as well as on definition of sanctuary houses. I also dealt with domestic violence in this part. The practical part includes a research performed by means of a semi structured dialogue based on predefined topics. The dialogues took place directly at the Sanctuary Home for women and mothers with children in Tábor. Seven clients were asked about their financial situation, about the past, things related to their living in the Sanctuary Home, their children and also their future. I was interested in their vision for the future and their biggest wishes. A social worker employed in the institution always gave me feedback to the questioned clients. A set of research questions, which I answered in the summary of the results, had been prepared. Most of the respondents got to the facility because of financial problems, not because of domestic violence as I had anticipated. The next research question was whether the respondents had had similar experience in the past. Here I learnt that five of seven respondents had and had had problems with their primary families. I also asked what services the respondents utilized. Six respondents of seven mostly utilize the facultative consultation. Only two respondents use social consultation. Another research question dealt with adherence to the house rules. My research showed that four respondents of seven breached the house rules. Mostly by smoking at the residential unit, which is forbidden. Another research question was about mutual relations between the clients and relations to the staff. Negative relations prevail here as four respondents of seven confirmed and one respondent has no relations at all within the facility. To the question how they imagine their future all the respondents answered that they did not know but they wanted their own living and privacy.

Domestic violence from the view of an adolescent
BURIANOVÁ, Jana
Domestic violence from the view of an adolescent I consider the domestic violence to be one of the cruellest abuses of a man to another man, above all for the reason it happens between close people. It is scary, that in the place, where one should feel the most safely, it comes to a violence and harm. The domestic violence occurs everywhere, regardless the social status, education, age, sex etc. This thesis is focused on adolescents, because I am interested in the fact what information and views they have and how much they are interested in the problem of the domestic violence. Then I focused a part of the thesis on an opinion of adolescents on the corporal punishment during the upbringing. The punishments in the upbringing are increasingly becoming a more discussed and hot topic and there are many different opinions on them. The theoretical part was aimed for relevant information related to the domestic violence and the upbringing. A main goal of the thesis was to map an awareness of adolescents on the issue of the domestic violence; a partial goal was to find out their views on the corporal punishments in the upbringing. At the same time the thesis examined two advanced hypotheses. An interrogation method by the help of questionnaires was chosen to verify the hypotheses. They were addressed to adolescents aged from 17 to 20 years old studying the region of the Bohemian Highland. The research sample for the data collecting consisted of 168 respondents in total. The hypothesis No. 1 supposed that girls have a greater knowledge about the issue of the domestic violence than boys. This hypothesis was confirmed. The hypothesis No. 2 supposed that adolescents do not agree with physical punishments in the upbringing. The hypothesis No. 2 was not confirmed. Respondents largely agree with the corporal punishments, if they are reasonable (a slap) or earned. The bachelor thesis offers current data on the domestic violence, awareness and opinions of the adolescents. It points out where it is necessary to increase the awareness of the adolescents on the domestic violence issues. The thesis can be used by a professional and lay public, which is interested in the domestic violence and it can be a basis for further studies or researches in that area.

POSTRÁNECKÁ, Hana
The subject I have chosen for my bachelor thesis is ?The Questions of Explaining Domestic Violence?. This bachelor thesis aims to define problems in the course of the explanation of domestic violence, and at the same time, to find out specific aspects in the explanation of domestic violence. The first chapter of the theoretical part deals with the definition of the term of domestic violence and the characteristics of the victim and the offender. It further deals with the forms, kinds, specifics and causes of domestic violence, the questions of battered woman syndrome and Stockholm syndrome. The next chapter deals with criminology point of view of criminal offences related to domestic violence and its explanation. The chapter involves criminal activity, the specifics of its explanation and typical motives, the questions of testimony and cooperation with experts in terms of domestic violence. The following chapter deals with the activity of institutional participants of domestic violence, who are mainly criminal proceedings bodies, intervention centre and a body of social and legal protection of children. The last chapter is focused on legislation. For the practical part, I have set the main objective: ?to define problems in the course of the explanation of domestic violence?. I have also set two partial objectives: ?to find out specific aspects of explanation of domestic violence? and ?to find out the extent assistance provided by the institution in the course of explanation of domestic violence.? To fulfil the objectives I used the qualitative research method along with the semi-standardised interview technique. Six experts were asked seven questions when data were collected. To obtain informative data, I addressed experts working in state and non-state institutions who deal with domestic violence. Drawing on my research, I laid down hypotheses that are described in the chapters Discussion and Conclusion. The main objective is answered by Hypothesis 1: ?The most frequent problems in the explanation of domestic violence are high latency, long-term maltreatment, crime scene, insufficiency of the body of evidence, lack of cooperation from the victim and the specifics of the victim?. The objectives of the thesis were fulfilled. The thesis can be used for a further development of interdisciplinary assistance to persons threatened by domestic violence and prevention development. Further, the thesis can be used in lessons for assisting workers.
