Čeňková, Sára ; Kříž, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Veteška, Jaroslav (referee)
The diploma thesis focuses on the application of educational and counseling activities in the practice of probation officers. Probation is viewed as a tool of social andragogy, the practical application of which can be found in institutions that focus, among other things, on the socialization and resocialization of individuals such as criminals. The aim of the work is to analyze and characterize the educational and counseling activities that selected probation officers use in their work with persons released from imprisonment and to identify barriers to their use. A secondary aim of the research findings is to determine which activities are considered most effective in the process of integrating these persons into society according to the selected probation officers. The theoretical part of the thesis first deals with the definition of the concept of restorative justice, programs of restorative justice, the specifics of this concept in the Czech Republic and in selected foreign countries.

The current problems of reintegration of people released from prison sentences
HOJDEKROVÁ, Adriana
This bachelor's thesis deals with the current issue of reintegration of persons released from prison. The iam of the bachelor's thesis is to describe the current state of reintegration of persons released from prison in the Czech Republic and to identify the problems faced by socil curators and probation officers working in post-penitentiary care. A partial objective was also to propose some optimization recommendations for this area. The theoretical part is divided into three chapters focusing on current trends in the Czech Republic and abroad. It also deals with the process of reintegration of convicted persons from the time of their incarceration until their return into society with an emphasis on the deveploment and support of activities during the execution of their sentence. Two research questions have been identified for the research part: 1. What problems with the reintegration of the persons released from prison do the respondents (social curators, probation officers) see in their work? 2. What solutions to reintegration problems and difficulties do the respondents propose? To research these issues a qualitative method was used in the form of semi-structured interviews with social curators and probation officers. The obtained data were categorized using open coding and the results were recorded in the tables. Finally various recommendations suggested by the respondents aiming at the best possible results of the reintegration are outlined. The research shows that the problems of persons after serving a prison sentence are "deep", and systemic, and not just those that are apparent at first glance. For example problems with housing are only visible manifestations of deeper causes. I am concerned that an effective solutions is not possible in the current socio-political setting of our society because the first-plan solutions are not enough and we are not willing to introduce systemic plans. Under current circumstances, functional family relationship appear to be the most significant element supporting the reintegration of persons after serving a prison sentence. It is necessary that the experts assist this target group during the execution of their sentence and work with them on specific topics. Because if you put a broken car in the garage, it won't fix itself either.

Postpenitential care - utilization of coaching interview method
Selmbacherová, Tereza ; Buriánek, Jiří (advisor) ; Podaná, Zuzana (referee)
This thesis presents postpenitentiary care / after care and its basic definition. It also discusses the use of coaching approaches in the after-care. The main objective of this thesis is to design and test the suitability and efficiency of leadership coaching approaches in after-care interviews. In the introduction of coaching approaches, I present the results from tests done with a research group made of former prisoners from facilities based in Prague, who left in the period between 17th 2010 and 24 5th The 2011th. A key finding is that researchers proved the suitability of the use of variable roles. In the following thesis, I define the three main borders and two roles that can be used for client access. The basic forms of access to clients can be identified as the approach of coach, child behavioral / ethopedy and social worker. Boundary roles can be described as a role transition between the essential roles. Through roles based on current client's needs, it can help to develop various personalised ways towards the independence. This thesis can serve as input into the area of after-care treatment. It also introduces a possibility to access after-care providers by enriching other possible approaches to clients.

Opportunities and limits of post-penitenciary care in out-patient services for drug users
Malinská, Dita ; Radimecký, Josef (advisor) ; Šejvl, Jaroslav (referee)
In my thesis I deal with the postpenitenciary care in ambulatory services for drug users. The aim of this study was to explore why clients seek and visit the institute, where my study took place, what services they used and which services did they miss there. Then I investigated reasons of their early abortion of these services. For these purposes, I chose a qualitative study - six case studies of clients who have used postpenitenciary services. My research took place in one organization - the ambulatory center for drug users. I was in contact with the clients throughout their whole attendance at the service. For the purpose of qualitative research I used data folders of the clients - records of consultations made with clients and all documents that were relevant for the study. All respondents were sent to the institution by workers of Probation and Mediation Service for Czech Republic. Four of the six clients completed the program properly. Two clients aborted the service earlier. Due to the quantity of the research sample we can not generalize these information, but we can say, that the provision of postpenitenciary care is very important to map the client's situation, individual access to his or her needs, and on this basis to select the appropriate interventions in work with theem, which I...
