Crime and its perception in urban environment
Jíchová, Jana ; Temelová, Jana (advisor) ; Šiftová, Jana (referee) ; Michálek, Anton (referee)
Jana Jíchová: Crime and its Perception in Urban Environment ABSTRACT Crime is an important social phenomenon that affects many aspects of the functioning of society and the life of every person. It also represents an important interdisciplinary topic that deals with a number of disciplines, including geography. Logically, there is a thematic and methodological overlap; each of the sciences emphasize on different aspects of crime, using various methods and research approaches, interpretations, and therefore contributes to the knowledge of crime differently. The importance of geography is particularly in the enrichment of the crime research on spatial dimension and contributes to its cognition through analysis of the distribution of crime and studies of perception of crime. Although this type of studies is well established in Western crime research, in the Czech geography is paid to them only little attention. This doctoral thesis introduces geography of crime in the Czech context, discusses its theoretical and methodological developments and its applicability and application in our cities.. More emphasis is put on the concept of fear of crime, which constitutes an essential component of feeling of safety affecting daily life, the use of urban space and spatial mobility of individuals.

The Influence of Urban Closed Circuit TV on Crime: a Case Study of Palmovka
Vávra, Michal ; Jíchová, Jana (advisor) ; Temelová, Jana (referee)
This bachelor thesis examines the effectiveness of open street closed circuit television (CCTV) in reducing crime, as installed in Palmovka, Prague. The main aim is to describe and evaluate the effectiveness of CCTV in a place with increased incidence of illegal activity (disturbing public order and the commitment of certain crimes). The theses furthermore evaluates the preventive effect of CCTV devices and their contribution to the detection of illegal activity by police authorities. To obtain the results, a method of semi-structured interviews with local police officers and analysis of police crime data was used. The research showed that after installing CCTV the number of crimes decreased, but the expectations of the general preventive effect were not met. The main merit for the reduction in crime may be attributed to other established security measures. Nevertheless, these systems have proved very helpful in improving investigation of crime and taken records serve as useful evidence in criminal proceedings. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)
