The Youth Opinions towards Violent Crime
PROKOPOVÁ, Michaela
The bachelor?s thesis aims to map the opinion of young students in secondary schools on the issue of violent crime, its repression and prevention, and to identify their fear of such crimes. The theory part explains the historical development of repression for specific violent crimes and defines the concept of violent crime and describes concepts associated with this group of crimes. The next chapters deal with criminal aggression, forensic theory of violent crime, its phenomenology, etiology and prevention, sense of security and fear of such criminal offenses. The last chapter describes violent crimes such as murder, robbery, assault and manslaughter as stipulated in the new Criminal Code effective from January 1, 2010. Four hypotheses were stated prior to the research. The first hypothesis suggesting that more than 60% of all respondents consider the number of violent crimes decreasing was invalidated. The second hypothesis affirms that more than 70% of all respondents consider brutality of culprit of violent crimes to be rising. The third hypothesis affirms that more students of an apprentice school would inflict the death penalty for plain murder and deliberate murder after prior consideration than students of a grammar school. The fourth hypothesis suggesting that more than 80% of victims of violent crime within the respondents do not feel safe in their domicile was invalidated. A quantitative research was chosen to collect data. The method used was inquiry and the data collection method was anonymous questionnaire. The respondents were students of an apprentice school and of a grammar school. The sample was determined by quota sampling where the quota consisted in age, sex and type of attended school. The sets were mutually compared. The conclusions of the research indicate that respondents are not enough informed on the issue of violent crime. A certain distortion of data transfer to the public, and the lack of crime prevention, and the dangers of excessive watching of shows and playing video games with violent topics for children were pointed out. Based on these findings, possible solutions of the issue were suggested. The results of this thesis can be used by the police dealing with crime prevention, but also provide advice for parents. They could also be published in some of the forensic or police journals.
