The attitude of the expert and the lay public towards institut of alternative punishments.
TURKOVÁ, Petra
Globally, the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries has been a period of major reforms in criminal law which are connected with the effort to find new methods to deal with crime and to replace or at least complement some inflexible procedures in administration of criminal cases. More and more attention is being paid to alternative proceedings before the court and alternative punishments in criminal cases. The Czech Republic has not fallen behind in the developments. My work seeks to map the options of alternative punishments, with a focus on community service. My work also deals with the legal framework for punishments in form of community service in selected countries. I will also mention the institute of Probation and Mediation Service. The work also points to the prepared amendment to the Criminal Code in connection with community service punishments. The research in my work is divided into two parts. The first part is a quantitative survey of opinions of the general public and the other part is a qualitative survey of opinions of professionals, such as judges, policemen and officers of the Probation and Mediation Service. The main objective of the work is to learn about the general public attitudes to and awareness of application and implementation of alternative punishments. I tried to find out which punishments would be preferred by the general public. Another objective of this work has been to survey opinions of professionals in respect to application and implementation of alternative punishments. In the first survey three of my hypotheses have been confirmed and two have been disconfirmed. Based on results of the secod part of the survey I have devised three hypotheses. The results of my work have shown that although the general public has a certain level of awareness of the issue, the knowledge is very superficial. The general public has demonstrated a significant degree of tolerance and benevolence to persons with alternative punishments. Professionals mostly approve the existing legal framework for the alternative punishments. They find the definition of these punishments in the Criminal Code adequate and they believe that alternative punishments have been used sufficiently. The work will serve as a general overview of the issue.
The education and employment of prisoners within and after the execution of their confinement
Jakešová, Ivana ; Minárik, Pavol (advisor) ; Kotýnková, Magdalena (referee)
Introduction of this bachelor thesis deals with an importance of terms "human capital" and "restorative justice". Nowadays, the main aim is not to incarcerate a criminal, but to stimulate him to change his behavior, in order to become a better man. Hence, there is a possibility for a criminal to extend his education, to take up a retraining course or to start working during the execution of his punishment. The main goal of this theses is to find out whether these activities, education, retraining courses or employment within the execution of a punishment are rather a benefit for both convicted and society. Huge range of projects have been created to strive for re-integration of former criminals into society and to the employment market. I will try to answer the question if a criminal becomes better by virtue of activities listed above and I would like to prove it with statistics related to the hight of recidivism, i.e. repeated criminal activity in the Czech Republic.
