The problems of judicial expertise in criminal proceedings
Dostálová, Kateřina ; Šelleng, Dalibor (advisor) ; Hořák, Jaromír (referee)
The problems of judicial expertise in criminal proceedings Abstract The diploma thesis focuses on forensic expertise and the current state of the subjects performing expert activities in the Czech Republic. Its aim is to prove empirically that the number of experts is insufficient. The thesis also focuses on possible problems that may arise in connection with the absence of experts, expert offices and expert institutes not only in practice but also in the court proceedings themselves. In order to comprehensively identify the state of expert subjects, the thesis uses analytical, normative and empirical approaches of scientific research using mainly static methods and qualitative interviews. The outflow of forensic experts is a long-term phenomenon. The current number of experts is the lowest in the last 20 years. At the same time, the list of experts includes fields and sectors in which no expert is registered. Their absence is reflected, for example, in the need for more frequent use of ad hoc experts, which can be problematic. It has a negative impact on the right to a fair trial, in particular on the so-called 'equality of arms', as only public authorities can bring in persons performing one-off expert activities. There is also a problem of undermining the professionalisation of expertise, as ad hoc...

The Unfit Preparation and Attempt of Criminal Offence
Smutná, Nikola ; Hořák, Jaromír (advisor) ; Říha, Jiří (referee)
The diploma thesis deals with unfit preparation and unfit attempt of a criminal offence. The issue of the criminalization of unfit actions is nothing new in jurisprudence, yet it is still a topical issue. Due to insufficient legal regulation, the low number of cases resolved before the courts and little interest on the part of the professional public, many questions remain unanswered. Act No. 40/2009 Coll., Criminal Code, does not offer a solution. It does not explicitly regulate the criminalization of unfit actions, the institute is mentioned only in a single provision, namely in § 46 paragraph 3 on abandonment of punishment. The legislator therefore left the definition of criminality and the procedure for imposing punishments for unfit actions to theory and practice. The aim of the thesis is to provide a comprehensive explanation of the unfit preparation and unfit attempt of a criminal offence, to analyze the individual problems associated with this institute and to propose their solutions. The text of the thesis is divided into a total of nine chapters. The first briefly discusses the developmental stages of the crime, the others are focused purely on unfit preparation and attempt. In the second chapter, this institute is first defined, followed by a discussion of criminality according to...

Klusáčková, Karolína ; Scheinost, Miroslav (advisor) ; Hořák, Jaromír (referee)
Criminological Aspects of Organised Crime Abstract The aim of this thesis is to comprehend the topic of organised crime in its entirety and to create an overview that will help to understand this phenomenon in the context of the contemporary world. The thesis analyses the phenomenon primarily from the criminological point of view but also from the criminal law point of view. The thesis is divided into two parts. The first part is a general treatise on organised crime. The second part pursues organised crime in the Czech Republic. The first chapter deals with the concept of organised crime from several perspectives. In addition to the legal and criminological definition, it also explores how this concept is defined in foreign literature. Furthermore, this chapter introduces the concept of transnational organised crime, the understanding of which is crucial for current criminology. At the end of the chapter, the differences between certain types of group criminal activities are explained. The author would like to highlight significance of the second chapter, which examines the subjects of organised crime, because chapters focused on victims and perpetrators are rather sporadic in the literature on organised crime. One of the subchapters is dedicated to the criminal organisation itself - it states what types...

Participation
Semerád, Vojtěch ; Pelc, Vladimír (advisor) ; Hořák, Jaromír (referee)
The submitted master thesis deals with the issue of regulation of participation in a criminal offence, i.e. criminal liability of persons who participated in a criminal offence, as a wide range of perspectives on the question of how to build a system of criminal liability of persons participating in a criminal offence can be observed across legal systems. Thus, the primary aim of this thesis was to analyse the current legal regulation of participation in the Czech Republic, which allowed to identify the strengths as well as the problematic points of the Czech regulation. Since an integral part of the analysis is a de lege ferenda perspective, the logical outcome is to compare the results of the analysis with the regulation of participation in France and to look for intersections and differences between the two regulations. The thesis is internally divided into 4 chapters. The first chapter provides a general introduction to the issue of criminal complicity, i.e. it includes the definition and differentiation of participation and other forms of criminal complicity, which has led to the creation of a working framework within which the issues of the following chapters will be analysed. The second chapter is devoted to two theoretical approaches to the regulation of participation, namely monistic and...
