In the submitted thesis the author focuses on the rising popularity of extremist political parties in the Czech Republic. The popularity growth of extremist political parties in the Czech Republic is proven by election results in recent years. Right-wing extremists{\crq} ``combat power{\crqq} growth is closely connected with the increasing number of their followers. Regional elections in 2008, in which the Labour Party achieved almost 29 thousand votes, which represents eight times more than the party had achieved in the previous elections in 2004, can be a proof of that. What is more, this party achieved 1.07% votes in the European Parliament elections and it surpassed the limit which is necessary for the state subsidy requisition. In the Theoretical Part the author deals with definitions of basic terms ``extreme{\crqq} and ``radical{\crqq}. Then he deals with the theoretical division of the political scene, from both the current point of view and the historical point of view, into the rights and the lefts. Then he attends to some terms which are closely associated with extremism, such as: nationalism, anti-Semitism and racism. In the Conclusion of the Theoretical Part the author focuses on the far rights and the far lefts. He pays attention to both the current representatives and to their predecessors of those extreme lines. In the Practical Part the author sets his targets and defines hypotheses and he also attends to the used research procedure there. The research was made via questionnaire investigations. Questions were focused on people{\crq}s opinions which are related to inadaptable citizens and extremism. There were also some questions which were focused on activities of those parties in the above mentioned fields, regarding the inadaptable citizens and extremism, which have their members in the Parliament of the Czech Republic. In the Practical part of the thesis the author also evaluates the observed results in light of respondents{\crq} achieved level of education. In the Discussion of the thesis the author compares the observed data with the knowledge of experts. He also focuses on divergent opinions of asked respondents, in connection with their achieved level of education.

The major subject of this graduation thesis is political extremism in its basic forms. In the theoretical part the author focuses in particular on division of political extremism and description of individual extremists groups. He also addresses criminal activities committed by extremists. Large attention is paid mainly to racially motivated criminality. The main objective of this graduation thesis is to ascertain the opinions of two different target groups on the extremist movements and the forms of criminal activities committed by them. The first group of informants consists of people who were brought up in the time of totalitarian regime. The second group of informants is made up of people who were brought up after the revolution in 1989. The output should be the comparison of the opinions, positions and prejudices of these two groups of informants in respect of extremists and their activities.

Causes and consequences of extremism in Czech republic
NOVÝ, Vít
Extremism is an underestimated threat of democratic system in these days. The majority of people are not aware of ideas of separate extremists groups and they can not evaluate possible menace. The statistics dealing with extremism made by Police of the Czech Republic show gradual but continuous growth of members of extremists groups. It is a question, which prediction for the progress of extremism will be correct and whether the extremism in the Czech Republic will stay in his latent form. The big difficulty of this problem is a definition of extremism. This term is not involved in the penalty law, because it is a term of politics science. Extremism is generally known as a terrorism or more precisely as an Islamic terrorism. The issue of this bachelor thesis is extremism in his basic form. So the main aim is to notify the situation of extremism in the Czech Republic, especially in Trhové Sviny, the basic illegal activities of extremist groups, delinquent behaviour and possible threats of extremism for society. Moreover it describes attitudes of the citizens of Trhové Sviny, their knowledge in this sphere and it points out a possible prevention of aggression. In the practical part of this bachelor thesis I have found out that the majority of asked people are afraid of extremism, in spite of the fact that they don{\crq}t notice any extremists groups or their activities in their neighbourhood. It is interesting, that the right-form extremism is considered as a more dangerous form. The solution of the extremism is very complicated and it needs complex and systematic changes. One step for improving the situation could be greater preventive activities in basic schools. Next step could be the creation of project, which would specialize on free-time activities of children and adults and it could be also used as a control element of potential extremists.
