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...

Crimes related to substance abuse Criminal offences related to substance abuse are still a highly topical issue having serious social, health-related, financial and security impacts on the whole society.

Second section contains historical background of the current legal form of drug- related crimes in the Czech Republic, while also some international legal rules are included as they influenced local legal development as well as many legal obligations result from them for the Czech Republic until the present. Third section covers current legislation; it contains a common introduction for individual elements of the drug-related offences as well as a broader context within the Penal Code, and it also mentions certain non-penal legislation that is closely connected to this topic.

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....

Pupil´s experiences with marihuana at primary school in Havličkův Brod
DUBEN, Martin
Abstract This Bachelor paper deals with the subject of experience that pupils of basic schools in Havlíčkův Brod have of using marijuana. The theoretical section describes the cannabis plant and marijuana proper; its effects; the methods of use; and the detrimental impacts the drug has on health and personality. Moreover, the section tackles the issues of drug addiction development as the process is related to taking marijuana itself, tobacco products and other drugs. The author has also addressed (1) the possibilities available to prevent the addiction at all levels; (2) the risk factors predisposing children and youth to abuse drugs and experiment with them; and last but not least (3) the anti-addiction policy and the principle acts of the relevant legislation applicable in the Czech Republic. The paper aimed to map the use and misuse of marijuana and tobacco products; to reveal the ways, forms and intensity of using marijuana in the pupils of basic schools; and to disclose the reasons behind using the drug and the scope of using tobacco in the basic school pupils. The paper examines three hypotheses. Hypothesis 1 predicts that smokers of tobacco products will have wider experience of marijuana than non-smokers. Hypothesis 2 predicts that boys will have more extensive experience of using marijuana than girls. Hypothesis 3 predicts that the town of Havlíčkův Brod will have greater incidence of marijuana abuse than the rest of the Czech Republic. The qualitative survey that the paper relies on has been conducted through an anonymous questionnaire, where the sample of respondents has been chosen according to quotas, specifically with regard to the respondents' age, sex and their being pupils of the 9th form of basic schools in Havlíčkův Brod. To obtain information having the highest achievable validity and variability, the data were gathered in the different classes without any person of authority for the respondents being present. The data thus collected were then processed by the common statistical methods to prove the hypotheses true of false. Fifty nine percent of boys and 75% of girls were found to have experience of tobacco products. Marijuana was tried by 27% of boys and 21% of girls. The method of marijuana use encountered in both boys and girls was smoking, 26% and 18% respectively, and the reason mentioned most often by both boys and girls was curiosity, 18% in both cases. Twenty five percent of boys and 20% of girls admitted experience of marijuana and tobacco products, while 2% of boys and 2% of girls have experience of marijuana but not of the tobacco products. In the incidence rate of using marijuana Havlíčkův Brod with the figure of 24% keeps 1% below the Czech Republic average (25%).
