The living conditions of children staying with their mothers in jails.
VOPÁLENSKÁ, Jana
The theoretical part of this bachelor project, whose topic is "The life conditions of children placed in mothers with children prisons, contains chapters about punishment, imprisonment, women's prisons exceptionalities." The aim of this work is to look at the prison's environment in Světlá nad Sázavou and to present the results of qualitative examination implemented just in that environment. Those results have been found out through the dialogues with sentenced mothers and prison service employees (psychologist, educator). Furthermore found out through non-structured observation. The research examination wants to answer folowing questions: What are the life conditions of children placed in mothers with children prisons like? What is the convicted mothers' view of their children's care, upbringing and education themselves? What is the prison service employees' view of sentenced mothers' care of their children? The results show the lack of outer motivation which influence the children in prison and unsatisfying psychic needs. The uncompromising priority seems to be material conditions and children's dependency on mothers. The research indicates that prisons are unable to provide such background, which a child gets at home in family environment. Mothers must realize that they have been confinemented.

Judges? attitude toward the project People replacing the walls
VESELÁ, Kateřina
The diploma thesis titled Judges? attitude toward the project ?People replacing the walls? is mainly concerning juvenile delinquency ending in custody, its alternatives, and it also introduces German company?s project EJF Lazarus, that could become another effective alternation of the custody institution also in the Czech Republic. The goal of the diploma thesis is to make a survey of the judges? attitude toward juvenile delinquency that ends in custody. The thesis is also aimed to find out more about awareness of Czech judges who work mainly on juvenile justice of the project of the German company EJF Lazarus Menschen statt Mauern/People replacing the walls, as well as to make a survey of attitudes that judges have toward the project and if they would appreciate foundation of similar institution in the Czech Republic. There was used qualitative research in the diploma thesis. To collect the data there were used the interview method and the technique of semi-structured interview. The research group consisted of 10 judges (5 females and 5 males) who were engaged in justice concerning matters of juveniles at the county and region courts in Prague, Central, and South Bohemia. The goals of the thesis were accomplished. Investigation results showed that judges? awareness of the project ?People replacing the walls? is minimal. After the judges had learnt more about the key idea and contents of the project, they rated it positively unlike present modification of custody institution for young offenders. The diploma thesis is concerning also alternative arrangements replacing the custody that also have their imperfections. The implementation of Czech version of the project ?People replacing the walls? could help to remove some of these shortages. The contribution of the thesis lies in the survey that provides the view of judges? opinion on juvenile delinquency ending in custody and on the project People replacing the walls. The diploma thesis also helps to enlarge it. To implement the Czech version of the project People replacing the walls, I would recommend carrying on with informing the judges about the project. Additionally, I would recommend finding out what attitudes toward the project keep various educational institutions and determining what are the conditions under which would be possible to implement the philosophy of the project People replacing the walls in there.

Place into the Penitentiary as an alternative of an execution of a punishment.
KOTNOVÁ, Andrea
My diploma thesis deals with two institutes of penal law ?detention and a court-ordered institutional education. The aim of the study was to tackle the issue theoretically and empirically, to give a comprehensive picture of both alternatives and to compare them. The aim was to add some information to contribute to decision-making in detention or alternative solutions in the issue of juvenile delinquency. The thesis is divided into two sections - theoretical and empirical. In the theoretical part, the legal basis of detention in the Czech Republic with regard to juvenile delinquents is defined, psychosocial issues of the juvenile delinquents detention are surveyed, the legislative base of the placement of juveniles into educational institutions is described, and the psychosocial issues connected with the stay of juvenile delinquents in educational institutions are outlined. In the final part, the possibilities and limits of the juvenile delinquents´ placement into educational institutions rather than detention solutions are discussed. At the beginning of the empirical section of the work, the objectives and research questions were stated. To answer these questions, a qualitative research investigation analyzing the stay of juveniles in detention and an educational institution was carried out. The respondents were chosen by a purposeful selection in educational institutions. The necessary data were obtained by conducting modeled semi-structured interviews with 7 juveniles who had gone through both detention and an educational institute. The interviews were transcribed and case studies were developed from them. The collected data were analyzed using the grounded theory method, open coding. The research has shown differences in experiencing detention and the stay in an educational institution in juvenile delinquents. It has been proved that detention is a stressful situation for juvenile delinquents, but it does not have a destructive affect on the personality of the juvenile. In contrast, the stay in an educational institution was evaluated positively by the respondents, and they emphasized its positive effect on their personalities. The research has also revealed the reasons for incidents in educational institutions, which result from boredom and the unwillingness of the juvenile to adapt to the regime. Now findings of the thesis demonstrate an insufficient use of the programs offered in penitentiaries. For this reason, as an optimization recommendation, I suggest to increase awareness and the motivation of prisoners to participate in these programs.

A Qualitative Study of Arrests as Perceived by Accused Juveniles
VALIHRACHOVÁ, Monika
Juvenile crime and juvenile criminals are the focus of one key area of society. Criminal acts are commited by youth especially in big towns and cities and they are accompanied by increasing manifestations of aggression. The number of juvenile crimes commited under the influence of narcotics and psychotropic substances continues to rise. There was an important moment when a specific law, no. 218/2003 Sb. Which regards the responsibility of juveniles for unlawful acts and also the judicial system concerning youth, was enacted. Juveniles perceive imprisonment on a significantly worse scale than adults do. Therefore, it is quite possible to influence juveniles in a more positive way by means of a suitable penological and pedagogical approach. Placing juveniles under arrest, their eventual conviction and their eventual imprisonment and confinement is the last solution. This thesis focuses on the research of how juveniles perceive their arrest as they within the Czech prison system. The data was gained by means of the qualitative research method with the use of a half-standardized interview. These interviews took place with ten men, who spent time under arrest as juveniles or young adults (up to 26 years of age). The goal of the diploma thesis was to map the situation of the arrest solution problems due to juvenile criminal activities, to answer some research questions and to eventually offer an optimized solution. These goals have been reached. The findings of this thesis can be beneficial for everybody who deals with the problems of juvenile crime and juvenile criminals. The recorded interviews, which describe the cause, the progress and the results of crime and criminals, as well as the execution of the arrests are of particular importance.

Imprisonment of minor offenders
VÁVROVÁ, Kateřina
Youth criminality is a constant problem which a number of specialists, legislative bodies, and the whole public deal with. A number of negative phenomenons occurring in the area of this population, e.g. spreading of drugs among younger and younger age groups and related increase of criminality undoubtedly play a leading role. However, it is known that bare repression is ineffective and means of educational activities are much more effective. Occurrence of social pathological phenomenons, their dynamics and changes are an indivisible part of the society. Grounds enabling occurrence of these phenomenons change very little. Heritability, constitutional factors, family, school, peer pressure, inappropriate spending free time as well as media influence and ethnical origin have an impact. Responsibility of the youth for unlawful acts is laid down by the Act No. 218/2003 Coll., on the Liability of Youth for Unlawful Acts and on Justice in Matters of Youth and Amending Certain Acts (Act on Justice in Matters of Youth). The purpose of the Act is defined particularly from the view of prevention of unlawful activities of the youth that is a basic group to which the attention of the whole justice and society is to be paid, so that every member of this group who committed an illegal act, no matter he is a juvenile or a child younger than fifteen years, is treated in accordance with this Act, he contributes to rectifying the injury resulting from the unlawful act within his strengths and abilities, a convenient and appropriate measure is imposed on him, and he finds a social asserting corresponding to his abilities and intellectual and moral development as a definitive result. Preventive activities aimed against youth criminality always and in the whole scope require respecting basic children rights and rights for privacy of their family. Children rights must be observed from primary to tertiary prevention, from searching threatened children and their families to treatment of guilty children. The most significant tool of social prevention is education of children in families and education of children at school. The aim of the thesis was to find out grounds leading to custodial detention of a juvenile offender and to find indications which could help to positively or negatively affect educational impact on the juvenile in the prison.
