Motivation to sport climbing
Brezina, David ; Turčová, Ivana (advisor) ; Baláš, Jiří (referee)
Title: Motivations of Climbers for Sport Climbing Objectives: The aim of this bachelor's thesis was to determine what motivates climbers to engage in the activity of sport climbing. Additionally, we investigated the influence of age, gender, and duration of climbing practice on climbers motivation. Methods: The research was conducted through a survey among 78 sport climbers (37 women and 41 men) in the Czech Republic. The survey inquired about various aspects of climbing motivation, such as personal reasons, risk perception, and social factors influencing participation in climbing activities. The survey included a total of 14 closed or semi-closed questions with selectable options. The results were processed using Microsoft Excel and Google Forms. Results: We found that the most common motivations for sport climbing are: overcoming personal limits and fears, the desire for physical improvement, the social aspect-meeting friends and building community, and the climbing activity itself. Furthermore, we discovered that younger climbers tend to seek adventure and excitement more. Older climbers cited being in nature and the climbing activity itself as their main motives.

Criminal activity of the juvenile offenders
ZBORNÍKOVÁ, Kateřina
The theoretical part of my thesis focuses on explaining the concepts, including definition of responsibilities, and on development of work with offenders from retributive to restorative justice. It deals with the characteristics of youth crime, in particular by biological factors, age, gender, family and education. The practical part of my thesis utilises the methods of quantitative and qualitative combined research. The techniques included semi-standardised interviews completed with a non-aligned observation and secondary and content analysis of data from the files. The research sample consisted of clients of the Probation and Mediation Service in České Budějovice, who committed a criminal act in teen age. The research mostly focused on theft, quiet, whole and functional family background and students of the Secondary Technology and Automobile School in České Budějovice. The research has shown that young offenders are happy not to be in prison, and that they do not have sufficient legal awareness. All the set objectives have been achieved. Two of initial three hypotheses were confirmed, one was not. Hypotheses specified on the basis of research are: 1.) the most frequent motive of juvenile offenders to commit a criminal act is a sudden ?straying?, 2.) students of the Secondary Technology and Automobile School in České Budějovice, Skuherského Street 3, are the most common perpetrators of criminal acts in the district of České Budějovice, 3.) actively cooperating clients of the Probation and Mediation Service in České Budějovice are the most likely that the court would conditionally stop their prosecutions, and 4.) adolescents have low legal awareness. The thesis can be utilised for processing in professional magazines and publications or for the needs of further research, bachelor, diploma and other scientific works. Another possible use I see for the needs of practical application within the prevention of crime and for teaching purposes.
