Criminological aspects of corruption
Röll, Johannes ; Kopečný, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Vokoun, Rudolf (referee)
Criminological aspects of corruption Abstract The purpose of this work is to analyse selected criminological aspects of corruption and, based on the findings, to offer the reader a different, less usual, point of view on these aspects. The purpose of this work is also to evaluate to what extent the means used to fight corruption are able to achieve the goal for which they were or should be adopted. In the first part, I focus on the inconsistent definition of corruption and, after demonstrating several definitions, I extract the characteristics that are, based on the findings, typical for corruption. Subsequently, I subject individual features to analysis and flexibility. Corruption is commonly interchangeable with lobbying, so in the second part I explain its essence and the reasons why this confusion occurs. The media plays a fundamental role in this, but also our political culture, when at the same time we miss the regulation of lobbying. With regard to the capture of corruption in the criminal code, I considered it necessary to analyse the regulation of bribery crimes. In the third part, I therefore focus on the necessary connection between these criminal acts and the procurement of the general interests, and I mention here the jurisprudence of the courts by which this term is interpreted in the absence...

Use of imaging methods in criminology
HALOUZKOVÁ, Markéta
The topic of my thesis is use of imaging methods in criminology. Imaging methods in criminology or forensics include a broad function, both as a stand-alone autopsy and as an adjunct. This allows the cause of death, which may be natural or even suspected, to be determined. In forensics, skiography using X-ray machines or new imaging methods such as computed tomography or MRI is most commonly used. Other imaging technologies such as CT - angiography, 3D photogrammetry, 3D printers, surface scanning and more are also being used in some countries. While this depiction isn't well known to the public, scientists are trying to make various articles, at least to familiarize themselves with all the information about the issue. My purpose of the work is to inform at least the listener of the study into a radiological assistant and to acquaint them with the work carried out in departments other than normal clinical practice. In the theoretical part, I tried to inform readers with a given issue obtained from the study of specialized articles and literature. In the introduction, I introduced them to a brief description of the field of criminology, forensics and imaging methods and their use in various causes. The practical part is based on the study of internet literature both abroad and in the Czech Republic. I divided that part into two segments. In the first chapter I drew on internet literature and in the second I drew on the collection of data obtained from a specialist article and from communication with radiologists. I also found information in other scholarly articles, dissertations, annual hospital reports, or a hospital journal. In the first part, I tried to introduce readers to the imaging methods used abroad and in the Czech Republic. In the next chapter, I processed the obtained data from the Hospital Ceske Budejovice, a.s. and the University Hospital in Plzen. Based on the results obtained and the data that brought me information on imaging methods used for criminology in forensicmedicine, what investigative areas are used and what are the most common causes of death, investigative areas, at the same time also pointed to me the status of a separate radiological assistant on the subject abroad and the Czech Republic.

Plzáková, Štěpánka ; Jelínek, Jiří (advisor) ; Šelleng, Dalibor (referee)
The diploma thesis The crime of rape according to section 185 of the Criminal Code is divided into five parts, which are further divided into sub-chapters. In the first part of the thesis, I focus on the historical development of the institution of rape, from the first mention of rape, which dates back to ancient times, through medieval regulation, regulation in the modern age, in the first and second half of the 20th century, up to the current regulation in Act no. 40/2009 Coll., Criminal Code. Specifically, the crime of rape can be found in section 185 of the Criminal Code, which falls under the third special part, Crimes against human dignity in the sexual area. This is followed by the second chapter, which analyses in detail the concept of a crime and its individual features. Here I described in detail the factual nature of the crime, i.e., the object, the objective side, the subject, and the subjective side, both from the general point of view, which we apply to all crimes, and specifically to the crime of rape. In this passage, I also focused on the single-act concurrences of the criminal act of rape and on the qualified facts found in the second to fourth paragraphs of the given provision. I also try to describe the topic of moral criminality, which includes rape, in the chapter number...

Criminological and criminal law aspects of the ransomware spread
Lédl, Kryštof ; Gřivna, Tomáš (advisor) ; Richter, Martin (referee)
67 Criminal-law aspects and criminological aspects of ransomware spread Abstract The thesis deals with the ransomware spread and its exploration from the perspective of criminology and substantive criminal law. This theme is still relevant as ransomware is still a highly used form of cybercrime, whose method of execution is being constantly improved by the perpetrators. The theme is further relevant because this form of cybercrime is also used as a form of waging war against another state, as may be seen e.g. in the increasing number of cyber-attacks incurring in connection with the current war between Ukraine and Russia. The first part of this thesis defines the term ransomware and then briefly describes the history of this type of cybercrime. This part further describes the different types of ransomware currently recognized by the professional community. Current trends in the ransomware spread are also outlined. The second part discusses the criminological aspects of ransomware, focusing primarily on explaining the ransomware spread by the criminological theories, examining the personality of the perpetrator and the victim from a criminological perspective, and exploring other criminological aspects of ransomware. The third part of the thesis concerns the assessment of ransomware spread under substantive...

Grigarcziková, Monika ; Marešová, Alena (advisor) ; Zoubková, Ivana (referee)
The Issue of an Offender's Personality in Criminology The aim of this thesis is to describe the offender's personality, to explain the possible causes of his criminal behaviour and to choose appropriate tools for punishment and prevention based on this knowledge. It consists a complex issue that criminologists have been studying intensely for several centuries. In the introduction to this thesis I am explaining the concept of criminology, criminality and offender from a criminological and criminal law perspective. The historical development of the view of the offender is introduced in this thesis. The ideas of free will were replaced by theories of born criminal, only for the science to partially return to the original ideas in the 20th century. The theories were further transformed by technological development and industrial revolution, which brought with it a new social order. The topic of the third part is personality from the perspective of psychology. Personality formation is a complex process, which everyone goes through since birth. It is influenced not only by the environment in which the individual grows up, but also by genetics. I also deal with the motives that lead the offender to criminal behaviour, what is his motivation and how a profile of an unknown offender can be constructed...

Economic crime and its prevention
Mišianik, Peter ; Gřivna, Tomáš (advisor) ; Herczeg, Jiří (referee)
1 Resumé The purpose of my thesis is to analyze the concept of economic crime in its whole size. The reason why I chose this topic is its international danger and high damage caused by this kind of crime. This subject is discussed in international organizations and is focused in its documents, because only international co-operation is able to fight with such crime. The thesis is composed of two parts (four chapters) - general and special. The first part (first and second chapter) is dealing with theoretical issues. The goal of this part is to introduce and define basic terminology found in the thesis like economic crime or financial crime. It is as well dealing with basic criminological characteristics of economic crime like the phenomenology, specifics of offenders, etiology or control mechanism and prevention of economic crime. The second part (third and fourth chapter) describes money laundering as a distinctive example of economic crime and the criminal liability of corporations as an instrument for fighting with economic crime. Describing the theoretical process of money laundering and focusing on legislative statute No. 253/2008, where the proper legislation is found, is the basis of chapter three. Chapter four is composed of three subchapters, where is described the term criminal liability of...

Counterfeiting and altering of money
Barák, Michal ; Gřivna, Tomáš (advisor) ; Herczeg, Jiří (referee)
in English This thesis deals with the issue of counterfeiting, in terms of both criminal and criminological perspective. Its opening is devoted to the money, especially to their historical development. The following chapter, number three, continuously moves to the description of the most widely used security features of money, especially of banknotes. Although these security features are not the subject of my thesis, this part can look quite dominant. However, I am convinced that the technical protection of money plays the pivotal role it the whole issue, so I gave them enough space at the beginning of work. The following section deals with the valid legislation and focuses primarily on the enumeration and analysis of the actus reaus under the Criminal Code. In my opinion, the focus only on criminal legislation is inadequate, and therefore I consider it is necessary to mention also other legislation which is significantly related, ie Act No. 136/2011 Coll., on the circulation of banknotes and coins and amending Act No. 6/ 1993 Coll. on the Czech National Bank, as amended, which contains mainly the Czech National Bank's role in the issues mentioned above and responsibilities of defined group of persons handling the money suspected of counterfeiting. The procedure of the Police of the Czech Republic...
