Regulation of prostitution and the relating criminal aspects
Kokešová, Alžběta ; Bohuslav, Lukáš (advisor) ; Gřivna, Tomáš (referee)
Prostitution is not criminalised in the legal order of the Czech Republic, nor are the legal conditions for its practising regulated by law. Due to this approach the Czech Republic follow the abolitionist model of regulation of prostitution, which is based on penalizing the negative aspects related to prostitution, especially the criminality committed in relation to its providing, and endangering the public order, morals and health. The sole practising of prostitution is left without legal regulation and remains unresolved. This should be changed by the draft on regulation of prostitution, which is built upon the concept of regulating the prostitution as a legal business. This thesis deals with two basic sets of questions. First being the issue of regulation of prostitution and the conditions for its practising, second is the criminal law aspects of this phenomenon. The thesis is divided into seven parts according to its content. The first four parts offer the theoretical basis for the core of the thesis, which are parts five and six. Those are devoted to the mentioned basic questions. The first part characterises the nature of prostitution and offers its definition derived from the case-law. The second part gives the overview of different forms that the prostitution can acquire according to the...

From fallen angel to blonde beast: characters of prostitutes in Balzac's The Splendors and Miseries of Courtesans and Zola's Nana
Fousová, Tereza ; Voldřichová - Beránková, Eva (advisor) ; Pohorský, Aleš (referee)
Subject to this degree work is the character of prostitutes in French society in the 19th century reflected in eight selected works of French authors of the time. In the first part of my thesis the history of prostitution from "religious prostitution" in ancient Greece to its "golden age" in France in the 19th century is described. The decay of moral principles in the post-Revolutionary period (as a result of religious and social taboos collapse) causes a great spread of prostitution and venereal diseases. Because of these reasons it was necessary to take the legalizing and organizing precautions - the French System. The second part of this work takes addresses the different (romantic and naturalistic) representations of the character of the prostitute in the literature of the 19th century. The representative of the romantic interpretation of the courtesan who is driven to sin due to poverty (the myth of the "fallen angel" redeemed by pure love) is Honoré de Balzac and his novel "The Splendors and Miseries of Courtesans". The opposite pole to the romantic interpretation of prostitutes is a naturalistic beast which chooses the oldest profession herself as a means of executing social revenge. In this second, analytical, part of this work the comparison of both of these kinds is made. Key words:...

Telínová, Gabriela ; Halama, Jindřich (advisor) ; Bartoň, Daniel (referee)
The thesis deals with the prostitution and its casual links to both moral and legislation matters. In this context, it focuses on recent efforts to legalize prostitution in the Czech Republic. The thesis starts with a brief treatise concerning an image of the prostitution as a phenomena, including a few possible reasons for getting involved in it. Thereafter, the thesis addresses a human sexuality and standards, which, through their application in practice, have an influence on our perception of this phenomena. This is also linked to the way we are proceeding to regulate prostitution, and why. The following chapter shows linkages to prostitution-related criminality, in which the majority of standards are broken. The point of this chapter lies in the fact that there is a real necessity for action, longed for by society, in order to regulate this field and to ensure both legal- and practice-wise protection to all threatened categories of people. This thesis also includes a chapter on current legal regulation of prostitution and its legalization in the Czech Republic. It covers various matters, e.g. how to take preventive measures against the crime in question; how to protect prostitutes, their clients or even a society; and how to comply with all these three parties' wishes in the most favourable...
