Zero tolerance policy in Czech context
Danovská, Krista ; Slačálek, Ondřej (advisor) ; Hesová, Zora (referee)
The goal of the thesis is analysis of the zero tolerance policy in the Czech context based on the example of the cities of Slaný, Litvínov and Duchcov. The thesis describes zero tolerance policy as a set of repressive measures harshly punishing minor offences which should lead to reduction of crime. Theoretically, zero tolerance is based on the broken windows theory which sees cause of the crime in minor offences in the public space. The set of measures based on zero tolerance and broken windows theory was labelled as New York Miracle during which the crime in the city decreased and for that reason zero tolerance policies spread across the world. For the analysis of the Czech context it is appropriate to connect zero tolerance measures with the concept of moral panics which we can consider as starter for the public discussion about the breaking the social order. In such moments, it is useful for politicians to use rhetoric which applies increased social control offered by the zero tolerance policies. In Czech Republic is the zero tolerance policy connected with the regulations of the public space and with the residents of the localities which we define as excluded haowever they are not considered ghettoes.

The Origins of Totalitarianism Viewed by First Generation of Critical Theorists
Danovská, Krista ; Balon, Jan (advisor) ; Tuček, Milan (referee)
The goal of the thesis is analysis of the origin of the totalitarian system in the work of Theodor Adorno, Erich Fromm, Max Horkheimer, and Herbert Marcuse, as representatives of the theoretical framework of critical theory. The analysis is carried out both in terms of the individual - the text works with the researches of the authors working with the concept of the authoritarian character - and in the analysis of societal factors leading to an undemocratic systém using texts following the philosophy of history. Work explores the overall context of the operating of selected authors, because the situation, during which the first generation of critical theorists formed their works was an important factor which influenced their thinking. The findings from selected studies include the fact that people with lower social status are more susceptible to tend towards a totalitarian system with strong authoritarian elements. Results from two different research one before the war and postwar one show that propensity for undemocratic system is rife. Texts dedicated to the philosophy of history show that modern capitalism and enlightened society elements are leading to totalitarianism. The authors leave this topic after their return to Frankfurt to a renewed Institute for Social Research.
