Pacovský, Josef ; Říha, Jiří (advisor) ; Hořák, Jaromír (referee)
Crime relating to the abuse of addictive substances The abuse of addictive substances is an issue of the whole society, which in current globalized world, considering continuous development of drug scene, still remains topical. The abuse of addictive substances, as a significant criminogenic need, relates to all kinds of different criminal offences, both those committed by addicts and those committed against them. This includes for example property crimes, crimes against life, person and health, or endangerment. Because of such wide scope of crimes related to the abuse of addictive substances, the focus of my work is on substantive regulation of so-called drug offences, which is stated in the articles 283 - 287 of the Criminal Code. The purpose of this thesis is to analyse constituent elements of the particular drug offences, coherent case-law, as well as some questionable issues related with this kind of criminal offences. It is for instance, the issue of determining the term "greater than the small amount" and regulation of making cannabis accessible for medical use. Higher consideration is given to the questions of so called growshops and the issues of the distribution of drug addiction. The thesis is divided into general part and special part. In the general part, there is a definition of some...

Lucký, Matyáš Teodor ; Vokoun, Rudolf (advisor) ; Bohuslav, Lukáš (referee)
The subject of this thesis is the criminal law governing the manipulation of psychoactive substances or so-called drug offenses. For the purposes of the thesis the term psychoactive substances is equal to the term narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances as used in Act 40/2009 Coll., Criminal Code. Special attention is then paid to the real impact of this regulation in the area of drug related issues. The first chapter maps the development of laws governing psychoactive substances from antiquity to present day while observing the repetitive trends in the historical legal approach. The attention is also paid to the modern development in this area in the international field, with particular focus the most important conventions signed during the twentieth century and the gradually increasing role of the European Union. The changes in the legal treatment of drug offenses on Czech territory are then described in more detail, the current Czech legislation being one of the main focuses of the thesis. The individual drug offenses contained in Sections 283 to 287 of Act No. 40/2009 Coll., Criminal Code, are discussed in further detail also taking into account the relevant case law and any problems encountered in their practical application. Due to the interdependence of criminal and non- criminal norms it's...

58 Drug Offences - Comparison of the Czech and Spanish Legislation Abstract This diploma thesis deals with the comparison of the current substantive law regulation of so-called drug offences in the criminal law environment of the Czech Republic and the Kingdom of Spain. Its key task is to provide its readers with a comprehensive picture of the current legal regulation in both countries by comparing their legal provisions, their case-law and opinions of the criminal law science.

Drug related crimes
Váchová, Natálie ; Říha, Jiří (advisor) ; Vokoun, Rudolf (referee)
Drug Related Crimes Thesis - Natálie Váchová - abstract Drug trade spreads throughout every country in the world and thus constitutes one of our society's global problems. As a result, countries try to fight the trade and usage of drugs on the national as well as international levels. Drugs affect various aspects of drug addicts' life - whether this be their health or their social and financial well-being. There are also many crimes that are connected to drugs - illicit production, distribution or possession of drugs (the so called "drug-related crimes"), crimes committed in order to raise funds for the purchase of drugs (i.e. criminal act of theft) or crimes committed under the influence of drugs. The topic of crimes related to substance abuse is very diverse, which is why this thesis will only be focused on the so called "drug-related crimes". The main aim of this thesis is to define "drug-related crimes" in more detail, closely analyse the different interpretations of the term "quantity larger than small" in the case of narcotic and psychotropic substances invoked over time and finally to compare the Czech regulation with the German one. The First Chapter introduces the reader to the issues surrounding drugs by describing the history of usage of drugs and the process of national and international...

Crime relating to the abuse of addictive substances
Holubička, Petr ; Herczeg, Jiří (advisor) ; Bohuslav, Lukáš (referee)
Crime relating to the abuse of addictive substances Crime relating to the abuse of addictive substances is still a current legal issue. It is a very broad topic including many different questions, namely illegal alcohol production, crimes committed by drug users to get money to pay for their addiction or crimes committed on drug users. However, the purpose of my thesis is to analyse drug offences in the Czech Penal law. In the first chapter of this work, I briefly describe the division of drugs into specific groups based on common features and also provide some information concerning origin, usage and effects of the most known substances. Second chapter deals with the history of legal regulation of crimes relating to the abuse of non-alcoholic drugs, because existing legislation is in many ways based on it. In this legal area, our country is still bound by several international conventions and I have incorporated them in this chapter too. Finally, this chapter includes some basic information about our new penal code. The merit of this thesis is contained in chapters 3 - 7. There, substantive rules of drug offences according to articles 283 - 287 of the penal code are analyzed using the commentary on the penal law, articles of legal experts, and especially jurisprudence. In these chapters, I direct...

Crime relating to the abuse of addictive substances
Mandík, Jan ; Vokoun, Rudolf (advisor) ; Bohuslav, Lukáš (referee)
The purpose of my thesis is to analyse crime relating to the abuse of addictive substances. This is a very broad topic that affects many non-legal areas such as health care or economy. It is also associated with many criminological questions. However, in my thesis I focused on drug offences stated in the Czech Criminal Code. This topic was already processed several times, yet it still remains topical since the drug scene is constantly evolving, especially thanks to advanced technologies. The thesis is composed of seven chapters and the first chapter is aimed on defining the basic terms, which I consider crucial for the understanding of the issue. In this chapter I also define the basic terminology used in the thesis. The next chapter deals with the history of the legal regulation of the abuse of addictive non-alcoholic substances. I focused especially on the national legislation and to the limited extent also on international treaties. The first act I mentioned is "Břetislav decrees" from 1039 and gradually I'm getting to the current Criminal Code. One part of the chapter is devoted to the previous Criminal Code no. 140/1961 Coll. The merit of my thesis is contained in the chapters 3 - 7. Each chapter describes one of the drug offences, which are found in the articles 283 - 287 of the Criminal Code....

The third and fourth chapters provide a general introduction to the topic of drug offences and describe the background of their current legislation. The merit of my thesis is contained in chapters 5 - 9. Each chapter focuses on a specific drug offence, as they are enshrined in sections 283 - 287 of the Criminal Code.
