Criminological Aspects of Hate Crime
Vlček, Vítězslav ; Kopečný, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Galovcová, Ingrid (referee)
Criminological Aspects of Hate Crime Abstract Hate crime refers to a set of crimes committed for a prejudicial motive against a group of people for their essential personality characteristics such as nationality, religion, or sexual orientation. Topicality of the issue stems from the fact that related social phenomena such as racism, xenophobia, radicalisation, or discrimination of minorities are far from being satisfactorily dealt with even in Western society. The fundamental goal of this thesis is to provide the reader with a comprehensive criminological view of hate crimes in the territory of the Czech Republic. Main findings include the following: the concept of hate crime is not unified in theory nor legislation in terms of protected characteristics, which negatively translates into research and policy of hate crime. The quantity of registered crime is in the order of less than 200 crimes per year, its trend is downward, and its structure is predominantly non-violent; unfortunately, it is also accompanied by high latency. The Czech perpetrator is usually male and a repeat offender, in early adulthood, with a basic education and without a factual relationship to extremist groups. Victims of violent forms of hate crime are, in principle, suffering more intense harm (especially psychological) than victims...

A History of Criminal Law in the Czech Lands in 1848-1989
Jablonický, Tomáš ; Kuklík, Jan (referee)
1 Summary Dissertation builds an objective, transparent, systematic and yet concise interpretation of the history of criminal law in the Czech lands in 1848-1989. The aim of this work is, however, not only to chronologically present the most important criminal codes, but also to tell a parallel story of criminal law science and criminology, which to a bigger or lesser degree substantially influenced the development of criminal law and criminal legislation. Therefore, this work also includes biographical and bibliographical profiles of leading Czech educators, criminal law scientists and criminologists - the founders and pioneers of Czech and Czechoslovak criminal law science, whose lives have been closely linked with the complicated socio-political events of the given historical period. History of criminal law shows a strong interconnection of criminal law and policy, which consequently causes the criminal law without proper criminal law science and criminology to be the most politically affected branch of law. For this dissertation is symptomatic the search for critical causes and factors that lead to progress or, on the contrary, to the decline of criminal law. In such moments, the criminal law science and criminology emerge again, naturally and clearly, from a scientific analysis of historical events of...

Criminal a criminological aspects of the crime - murder Abstract This thesis deals with the crime of murder from the legal and criminological point of view, which implies a systematic work. The first part of the thesis, dealing with criminal law aspects, describes the previous legislation, but the emphasis is put on the current regulation, its division of the facts according to the circumstances of the offender's conduct. Other crimes directed against human life are briefly presented for completeness of the interpretation of crimes against life. In connection with this comparison, I have given more attention to the issue of euthanasia in the thesis, which is in many ways connected with the crime of murder in terms of current legislation and the development of insight into this issue is very interesting in the Czech Republic and other EU countries. The topic of the thesis is criminal and criminological aspects, so in the first part of the thesis I focused on individual aspects of the crime of murder in terms of its conceptual features, ie object, subject, objective side and subjective side and forms of crime in terms of developmental stages and criminal cooperation. Other circumstances that affect the assessment of the offender's conduct are related to the crime of murder, and the legal classification of the...

The Thesis on Criminological Aspects of Corruption is focused on the corruption with the aspects of criminology focused on criminal crimes related to corruption. It means, that the thesis analyses the corruption as social problem focusing on the criminological aspects of it. The thesis is split into the introduction, four synoptic chapters and conclusion and each of these chapters are focused on different aspect of adjustment of corruption. The first chapter analysis the term "corruption". Since there is no worldwide or national definition of corruption, which includes every character of it or corruption behavior, it is necessary to write up the different definitions of corruption from the point of view of international organizations, Czech legislator, state organizations, nongovernmental organizations or the experts across different disciplines. The terms as clientelism, lobbying, nepotism and conflict of interest are closely related to the term corruption (or they are confused with the corruption), and because of that it is necessary to analyze these terms, too. The second chapter is focused on legal framework of corruption on international level where it is regulated by UN or Council of Europe or nongovernmental organization as Transparency International, and also on national level.

Criminological aspects of corruption
Skopalíková, Veronika ; Kopečný, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Galovcová, Ingrid (referee)
Criminological aspects of corruption Abstract This master thesis focuses on several selected criminological aspects of corruption, aiming to explore them from the criminological point of view. This master thesis, however, does not necessarily aim to provide practical solutions for control of corruption. The first part is focused on the criminology as a science, since it is the basis of this master thesis. The main topics of this part are the crimonology as a term, its subject and its brief history. Next, the attention is pointed towards definition of the term of corruption, given its disunited approaches to its definition, and compares the numerous takes on the definition from the literature and various institutions. The master thesis also brings forward various types and kinds of corruption, including petty corruption, grand corruption or state capture, as well as distinguishing between the types of corruption based on various factors. Given that the corruption may manifest in multiple forms or degrees of institutionalization, variants and syndromes of corruption according to Johnston are not omitted. Corruption is an important social phenomenon causing far-reaching consequences that may, however, not necessarily be easily seen, or they may even be overlooked. In order to understand this pathological...
