Protecting victims of crime
Klepalová, Veronika ; Hořák, Jaromír (advisor) ; Gřivna, Tomáš (referee)
I selected the topic of my diploma thesis some time ago, having in mind the internship that I completed at the prosecution and later at the court, where I had the opportunity to encounter the victims of criminal activity. This applied especially to situations when the victims came to serve a complaint and also to situations when they had already fulfilled their part in the criminal suit in their role of the damaged. It preoccupied me then how little are the victims in reality informed of their status and how little information is granted to them by the authorities acting in the criminal procedure. The victims often came after a not very pleasant previous experience with the policemen and dealing with them was often uneasy. It is necessary to add that the guilt couldn't be unequivocally cast upon the authorities acting in the criminal procedure flooded by a large amount of work, but the situation of the victim was unnoticed also because of the absence of a comprehensive legal framework for their rights and of the establishment of a basic standard for the care and protection of which it was entitled. This, however, changed by the adoption of the law on the victims of criminal acts, through which the treatment of rights of the victim was unified and became well-arranged and the education concerning...
