Comparative study of legislation and impact of social economic factors in prostitution problems of The Czech Republic and Austria.
HÝSEK, Václav
Abstract The theoretical framework of this thesis aims to analyze in a deeper way the matter of prostitution, pointing out to the present situation of this social matter in the Czech Republic as well as the connected or closely related criminality. Within the context of prostitution, general terms are specified along with the forms of prostitution, including the new so called ``laufhäuser{\crqq} (through house), present legal regulations and the impact of prostitution on the Czech economy. Furthermore, the health aspects of prostitution are also marginally dealt with. The subject of the thesis is ``Comparative Study of the Legislation and Impact of the Social and Economic Factors in the Matter of Prostitution in the Czech Republic and Austria{\crqq}. The main objective of the thesis research was to answer the research question - whether the present legislation concerning the legal regulations of prostitution is more favourable in Austria. Directed interviews were chosen as the research method, carried out with the members of the Czech Republic{\crq}s Police, who deal with the issue of prostitution on a daily basis within their job responsibilities and are aware of the problems connected with prostitution in the Czech Republic as well as the neighbouring states, Austria - Upper Austria in particular. The selected sample of police employees unambiguously confirmed that adopting a prostitution act similar to the present one in Austria would be of a benefit not only for the police, but for society itself. Should we relate to the present state of prostitution in the Czech Republic and problems connected, it can only be stated that the only effective and system solution for the future is to adopt an individual prostitution act. Prostitution cannot be wiped out in society, as long as the demand for and supply of these services exist; however it can be successfully rectified. Prostitution has never been and is not an accidental and sporadic phenomenon; it is and will be exercised in any political system, often even in spite of severe repression.
