Line-up
Janulková, Kateřina ; Jelínek, Jiří (advisor) ; Pelc, Vladimír (referee)
This rigorous thesis analyzes line-up, which introduces a frequent procedural act and one of the basic criminological-tactical methods. The thesis considers line-up as a very important evidence from the perspective of Criminal Procedure Law and criminology. Line-up is also a very specific act because the process of rebuilding takes place in human brain and can not be controlled or verified in any way. All these characteristics increase the requirements for proper preparation and execution of line-up. The rigorous thesis also points out the fact that line-up is an important procedural act even in cases where identification is not achieved or the result of a line-up is not credible, as such result can be used for further investigative procedures. The aim of the thesis is to comprehensively and clearly analyze the issues of line-up and to analyze if the current law regulation corresponds with importance of this procedural act. Further, the aim of the thesis is to analyze the process of line-up and its correctness and effectiveness. Relating to these aims, the thesis points out especially significant problems, imperfections and confusion associated with line-up and focuses on possible ways of their elimination. The first part of the rigorous thesis focuses on general knowledge of line-up, types of...

Human line-up in criminal proceedings
Dvořák, Marek ; Pelc, Vladimír (advisor) ; Heranová, Simona (referee)
The submitted diploma thesis deals with one of the special methods of the taking of evidence in criminal proceedings known as human recognition or line up. This method is specified in the current legal regulation of section 104b, Act No. 141/1961 Coll., Criminal Procedure Code. Particular attention is paid to the general definition of human recognition "in natura". However, some less common ways of execution of this method are also mentioned, such as blank line up occurring in some foreign jurisdictions (especially in Poland). Further attention is then focused on possible significant defects during the process of recognition with its legal consequences. The whole issue is even more complicated when we take into account that recognition as a criminal method is essentially unrepeatable. The thesis analyses foreign researches carried out in some countries, especially in the United States of America. Attention is then focused also on legal regulation of line-up (parade) in England and Wales, because these countries use one of the most modern methods in the world, such as video parade or CCTV. The question of the obligation to passively pass the recognition is also mentioned. Legislation does not deal with many of important questions and details so it's necessary to build on case law and opinions of criminal law...

Criminalistic theory of a crime victim (criminalistic victimology)
Konvičková, Hana ; Musil, Jan (advisor) ; Krupička, Jiří (referee)
Criminalistic study of crime victims (criminalistic victimology) In this thesis I try to briefly outline some of the most important issues and topics concerning criminalistic victimology. I address both how the victim affects the crime itself and its investigation, but also how the crime investigation affects the victim. When investigating a specific criminal act, there are two major conflicting goals we try to achieve; to investigate as thoroughly and effectively as we can, and to avoid secondary victimization of the victim. Both professional and attentive approach is vital to criminalistics as a whole, not just criminalistic victimology. A successful investigation depends in many cases greatly on whether and how the victim cooperates, and that in turn depends on how the victims and the general public view the police, the courts, and other criminal justice authorities. It is therefore necessary to understand the victim, to comprehend their role in the formation of the criminal act, and to ensure their confidence in the criminal justice. This thesis opens with a brief summary of the subject's history, afterwards it explains the key concepts and expressions found in the paper. It then carries on to deal with the victim's part in the creation and preservation of evidence and in reporting the criminal act. The...
