Imposing the Punishment of Community Services by the Courts of Pilsen region
ŠIDLOVÁ, Kateřina
The objective of this diploma work was to map completely the various aspects of the community service punishment using the legal regulations applicable at the time of working on this paper as compared to the adopted Penal Code that came into force on 1 January 2010. The data collection and the set hypothesis verification in the theoretical part of the paper were carried out using a quantitative research, the method of document analysis, the technique of secondary data analysis. The qualitative part of the research used the method of questioning, the technique of standardized interview. Interviews were carried out with law court staff and probation staff during April 2010. Based on these interviews, we obtained the opinions of the professional staff of the adoption of the new Penal Code, in particular with regard to the changes this new code brings to the punishment of community service. The research has shown that the imposition of the community service punishment by the law courts in the Pilsen region does not drop {--} it still remains on the level of about 19.3 % of the total number of condemned in criminal cases. According to the interviews with judges, senior law officers and probation staff it has been found out, that the new Penal Code could facilitate the feasibility of the community service punishment with regard to mandatory preliminary negotiation, lowering the upper limit of the community service punishment length and toughening the transformation of the community service punishment. Unfortunately, even a perfect legal regulation cannot guarantee a proper function of the entire system. What is essential is the cooperation of all the bodies concerned, the correct application of legal regulations and, last but not least, the attitude of the society. We hope that the paper will serve not only as instruction material but it will be possible to use it to provide information to laic as well as professional public.

HUPÁKOVÁ, Markéta
Together with the reform of the criminal justice it was necessary to form a complex system of activities concerning the realization and effective usage of the introduced system of alternative punishments and deviations in criminal proceedings. On the basis of this requirement the institution of the Probation and Mediation Service (PMS) of the Czech Republic was established in 2001. The mission of the PMS is to create conditions for alternative punishments use in the course of the criminal proceedings and to ensure the effective execution of alternative punishments. For this purpose this service carries out the probation and mediation and participates in settlement of disputes between the accused and accusers and makes efforts to appease conflict situations and to restore the respect for rules of law. The integral part of the PMS mission is prevention and reducing the risk of the recurrence of criminal activity. The objective of the thesis is to examine the real public awareness of the Probation and Mediation Service of the Czech Republic, to give account of the lay public attitudes to the institution of alternative punishments. The thesis also studies opinions of alternative punishments in professionals who cooperate with the Probation and Mediation Service. Before the research the following hypotheses were stated: H I: The awareness of the lay public of the Probation and Mediation Service is low. Partial H I: The lay public gets information mostly through the television broadcasting. H II: The cooperation of professionals with the Probation and Mediation Service influences the attitude to alternative punishments, which become more acceptable to be imposed. To verify the hypotheses the quantitative research, the questionnaire method was used. I made up standardised questionnaires with a series of 15 questions. The first research set was composed of the lay public. 100 persons aged 20 {--} 60 years were chosen at random. The other research set comprised staff members of subjects cooperating with the Probation and Mediation Service of the Police of the Czech Republic, of local and municipal authorities, of the Employment Office, of the prison system. 50 persons were addressed on the whole. The results show that the H I as well as the partial H I, relating to the awareness of the lay public of the Probation and Mediation Service, were confirmed. The hypothesis II, focused on attitudes of professionals cooperating with the PMS to alternative punishments, was rejected.
