Rydlová, Kateřina ; Kopečný, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Šelleng, Dalibor (referee)
Criminal recidivism is one of the key issues that criminology deals with. By finding a way to eliminate or at least reduce criminal recidivism we would extensively reduce overall crime rates. That is why it is important to continue in examining the causes of recidivism and the efforts of its reducement, and to develop and increase the knowledge in this sphere in accordance with the constantly evolving and changing society, so that we can react flexibly to the changes. The goal of this thesis is to show the historical development of the institute, the causes of recidivism, and the possible ways of prevention. In the first chapter I explain the term and different concepts of criminal recidivism. In the second chapter I summarize the historical development of the legislation of recidivism in our country. Chapter three focuses on the current legislation of recidivism. Based on different circumstances, recidivism can be the reason for a stricter punishment. Chapter number four deals with the causes and predictors of recidivism. Generally speaking, we can divide the causes to external influences, internal influences, their motivation and finally, the way that the rest of the society perceives them. Lastly, chapter number six I talk about the current criminal rates and criminal recidivism in the Czech...

The effect of selected types of penalties on the resocialization of convicts
Moudrý, Petr ; Bohuslav, Lukáš (referee)
The problem of resocialization of convicts and the effect of particular penalties on this process is a subject rather relatively neglected, but at the same time socially and legally fundamental. The success of the resocialization of offenders affects not only the entire criminal policy but also society as a whole. However, the view on this social dilemma is evolving over time. We do not longer examine the punishment as mere retribution, rather we expect it to protect society and have a positive effect on the convict. We also realize that most of the sentencing does not mean permanent exclusion from society. Therefore, the consequences of any sentence also affect us, the society. This phenomenon led me to analyze the three most severe sentences: imprisonment, house arrest, and community service. Gradually, I tried to investigate the outcome of the effects of these sentences on the offender's personality. During the analysis, I decided not to only benefit from the secondary data consisting of acknowledged publications, articles, studies, and concepts, but I also acquired findings from several interviews with experts within the sphere and convicts themselves. This allowed deep penetration into the topic not only from a theoretical point of view but also from a practical one. In the thesis, I critically...
