Drug Prevention among Roma Youth
Hrabcová, Marta ; Sak, Petr (advisor) ; Janošová, Pavlína (referee)
This thesis deals with the drug prevention among Roma youth. It is based on the research among the clients of Children and Youth Centre Teen Challenge Int. I have been working there as a part time worker the last three years. Using the method of in-depth half- structured interviews, I interviewed twelve clients, ages in the range of ten to sixteen years. All of them were members of the Roma minority, which is a group significantly affected by social exclusion and wide range of socially pathological phenomena, including the use of addictive substances. Given this situation, Roma youth appears to be a group highly at-risk of drug addiction. This means that special attention should be paid to this group in selective prevention efforts. Beside this, non-specific prevention is also extremely important. In this paper I tried to show that, as many risk-factors are closely related to the very ethnic specificity of this minority. Its unique cultural features must be taken into account. Non-specific prevention should focus not only on the meaningful use of free time, but it should also seek to strengthen self-confidence, positive features of ethnic identity, ability of planning and postponing satisfaction. Some other important parts of non-specific prevention could consist of efforts to teach how to accept...

Drop-in centers for children and youth in the South Bohemian Region and their services
OSTRÁ, Johana
This bachelor thesis deals with low-threshold facilities and their services in South Bohemia. In the theoretical part of the work i will try to explain the term low-threshold facility, in the second part i will deal with its mission and importance. The services of the low-threshold facilities are defined by the law No. 108/2006 about social services and about the target group for witch the services are primarily aimed. In frame of this work i am also dealing with the usefulness of specialized pedagogy, in particular etopaedia, which is dealing with children having behavior disorders and generally with risk youth. Low-threshold facilities are distributed throughout the whole Czech Republic. There are twenty of them in South Bohemia. Their activities are focused at children and teenagers and they provide social services with the aim to solve unfavorable social situations. Key importance is given to primary and secondary prevention, and the facilities collaborate intensely with schools. Their clients are separated into younger and older age group, all of them remain anonymous and all services are provided free of charge. In frame of prevention some low-threshold facilities provide also terrain services. In such cases they deal with clients in their home environment. Practical part of the bachelor thesis was performed by interviewing individual low-threshold facilities in South Bohemia. i have approached all twenty available facilities, have received a feedback from seven of them, and all of them became subject of my interviews. The interviews occurred directly in the facilities with their employees, who were most competent to reply to my questions. The aim was to identify programs and services offered by the low-threshold facilities in South Bohemia. Furthermore, i wanted to establish the way the low-threshold facilities inform their target group about provided services, and whether the target group has any influence as to the location of the low-threshold facility. I would like to state that i was able to achieve the aims outlined at the beginning of the thesis. This bachelor thesis can be used by founders of new low-threshold facilities, but also by clients who will be able to find there information about provided services, as well as about the age span of a given facility. Finally, this thesis will be suitable for schools, as it contains information about offered preventive programs useful for school children.

HAZUKOVÁ, Michaela
In the theoretical part of the work there is given the term motivation besides I devote my attention to performance on the basis of Maslow?s need hierarchy. Then there is a definition of subculture and specification of the term graffiti. I work on the contemporary as well as historical development in Bohemia and in the world. I explain specific expressions for the given subculture and, last but not least, I pay attention to behaviour of sprayers within the framework of the low order of the Czech Republic. The target of the research work is to find it what are the essential and strongest reasons for graffiti creations and what opinion of sprayers performance our society has. For realisation of the research work I took a quality type of research , i.e. a method of inquiry and a technique of halfdirected interviews. The research has held in České Budějovice in the period from January to March 2011. I chose the method of snowball sampling for choosing or respondents. I asked eleven respondenst from whom seven ones were willing to participate in the research. The sprayers aged from eighteen to thirty-three formed a research group No 1. There were realized interviews each of which lasted at least one and half hour. Next seventy respondents in the ages of sixteen to fifty-five years formed another supplementary group No 2. These were asked to fill in a short questionnaire. All the respondents live in České Budějovice or in its near surroundings. The results of the research showed that following reasons motivate the sprayers to their activity: their personal interest in arts and any activity joined with them, expressing their emotions, a possibility of shocking obtaining respect , to realize their imagination, to express them selves freely and lastly it is adrenalin and adventure that follow especially illegal graffiti creation. The introduced bachelor work can be used in institutions working with subcultures and problematic youth. I can be used in question of prevention, as well. This work is especially devoted to those who want to understand the activity and expressing of sprayers.
