Slezák, Marek ; Kopečný, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Jelínek, Jiří (referee)
Europeanization of Criminal Law Abstract The topic of this diploma thesis is europeanization of criminal law. It can be described as a process of approximation of criminal legislation of european countries. This process typically gets set in motion by organizations in which european countries associate. Said organizations use europeanization as one of the tools for achieving their goals. The goal of the thesis is to analyze how the process of europeanization of criminal law developed so far and to examine the tools which the organizations use in order to approximate the legislation of their member states. At the same time it also aims to point out some practical challenges which arise both generally in the organizations themselves and specifically as part of the application of selected tools. The first chapter is concerned with the tools the most important European organizations, the Council of Europe and the European Union, use to approximate their member states' criminal law legislation in general. It provides a brief look into their history and into the changes of the tools used throughout it. It also points out that not all the member states of the organizations might participate in their cooperation methods to the same extent. The second chapter then examines the most important institutions which...

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...

Criminological aspects of Criminal recidivism
Rydlová, Kateřina ; Kopečný, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Šelleng, Dalibor (referee)
Criminal recidivism is one of the key issues that criminology deals with. By finding a way to eliminate or at least reduce criminal recidivism we would extensively reduce overall crime rates. That is why it is important to continue in examining the causes of recidivism and the efforts of its reducement, and to develop and increase the knowledge in this sphere in accordance with the constantly evolving and changing society, so that we can react flexibly to the changes. The goal of this thesis is to show the historical development of the institute, the causes of recidivism, and the possible ways of prevention. In the first chapter I explain the term and different concepts of criminal recidivism. In the second chapter I summarize the historical development of the legislation of recidivism in our country. Chapter three focuses on the current legislation of recidivism. Based on different circumstances, recidivism can be the reason for a stricter punishment. Chapter number four deals with the causes and predictors of recidivism. Generally speaking, we can divide the causes to external influences, internal influences, their motivation and finally, the way that the rest of the society perceives them. Lastly, chapter number six I talk about the current criminal rates and criminal recidivism in the Czech...

Fendrychová, Denisa ; Kopečný, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Galovcová, Ingrid (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with the concept of recidivism, which is a term that could be described as an occurrence in which the offender commits another criminal offence after being convicted. In recent years the number of recidivism rates in Czech Republic reaches from 40 to 50% which is further evidence to the urgency of this current issue. The goal of this thesis is to examine what could be the conditions of increasing or lowering the probability of reoffending and to bring forward the possible means of prevention based on that. Firstly this thesis addresses the term of recidivism and several possibilities of looking at it, further follows the issue of how recidivism is translated into legislation and then it offers data about the frequency of recidivism in Czech Republic from publicly accessible statistics. The core part of the thesis then researches if it is possible with sentences alone to prevent reoffending and if there are other factors that could potentially contribute to this goal. It could be concluded from the researched literature and studies that sentences alone have very little possibility to reduce the chances of reoffending. The lowest probability of reoffending was repeatedly recorded with people who started offending at a very young age, without stable occupations, place to...

Hrkal, Filip ; Kopečný, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Galovcová, Ingrid (referee)
1 Terrorism in criminal law in the context of evolution of Czech legislation since 1918 Abstract This document covers the evolution of antiterrorist legislation and related legislation since 1918 on the territory of Czechoslovakia. To start with, the concept of terrorism is defined in the introduction in order to set up the wider issue that is covered in the remainder of the text. Four key moments in history that correspond to the definition of terrorism with the relevant law regulations applied have been chosen for the analysis. The aim is to demonstrate readiness of the institutions to address this specific area of criminal justice in their time. At the same time, this paper illustrates the ever changing understanding and terminology related to the crimes, depending on the context and subject that might be adjudicating. The first event is the assassination of finance minister Alois Rasin during the era of the First Czechoslovac Republic. His politically motivated killing is firstly analysed on the basis of ruling of the State Court in the light of criminal law of the time. Follows an analysis from the point of view of the contemporary legal norms. Similar analytical approach is applied in the cases of assassination of Deputy/Acting Reich- Protector of Bohemia and Moravia Reinhard Heydrich during World War...
