It aims to describe this institution's valid and effective legal framework using specialized literature, specialized articles, commentary on the law, judgments, and other sources. The thesis is divided into four chapters (excluding the introduction and conclusion), which are then divided into subchapters and sections.

Participation Abstract The aim of this diploma thesis is especially to identify the advantages and disadvantages of individual approaches to regulation of participation, to set out the main attributes of participation in the Czech criminal law, including its main deficiencies, and to present possible inspiring solutions for their elimination by presenting a different model of regulation abroad. Participation as one of the forms of criminal collaboration is approached slightly differently by each legislation. However, the legislations usually agree that the participant's actions must be punished in a certain way. Although the participant does not partake in the fulfillment of the constituent elements of the crime by its own actions, its influence on the crime itself may be significant. The reason for choosing this topic is mainly the still unresolved situation regarding the institute of participation in the Czech Criminal Code and a large amount of criticism of the current regulation. Although the Criminal Code was newly adopted in 2009 and the possibility of correcting the deficiencies of the participation was obvious, professional discussions did not take place, and in the end a regulation that to a certain extent copied the previous criticized one, was adopted. In addition to the introduction and...

The indirect perpetration
Havel, Lukáš ; Hořák, Jaromír (advisor) ; Pelc, Vladimír (referee)
The indirect perpetration Abstract The indirect perpetration consists in the commission of a crime through another person who is not criminally responsible. In case of indirect perpetration, such a person is being misused by the indirect perpetrator as a ‚living instrument' to actually carry out the criminal act. Without the institution of indirect perpetration, it would not be possible to punish an indirect perpetrator in some cases. In dualistic systems, this legal institution seems necessary as it fills the gap generated by the principle of accessory participation and helps to overcome certain difficulties that arise from the application of criminal law in dualistic systems. Indirect perpetration is hence often indicated as a supplement to the principle of accessory participation. The aim of this diploma thesis is a detailed description of the indirect perpetration. This is also accomplished through the analysis of its historical development and the comparison of selected foreign legal systems. The work is divided into three thematic parts. The first part is devoted to the historical development of the indirect perpetration. Individual subchapters are also supplemented by relevant case law pertaining to the topic. The second part of the diploma thesis is devoted to the current concept of indirect...

Brandtner, Anna ; Pelc, Vladimír (referee)
01 The Criminal Liability of the Organizer of a Criminal Offence Abstract This thesis focuses on one of the modalities of participation - on organizing. The provisions of Section 24 (1) a) of Act No. 40/2009 Coll. of the Criminal Code mentions organizing in the first place, indicating that it is the most serious form of participation. Organizing is also a form of participation which is quite specific to the Czech legal order. Foreign legal regulations often consider the Czech organizer to be the offender.
