The punishment of homeprison as a form of the offender´s rectification
FIŠEROVÁ, Petra
Each human society creates during its existence a system of reactions against undesirable activities of persons, who break the rules of the smooth passing of a particular community and contravene the standards and values of the community. The view of these reactions {--} punishments, changes over time and also with a respect to culture of the community or the state and its approach to an individual and his rights. In the past, the forms of punishments were, and in some countries still are, mainly primitive, such as amputations of body parts. However, the civilised world, especially, in case of non-arrestable offences, tends to prefer non-custodial service, such as home detention. Home detention as a form of penalty has been used in various alternatives for many years in countries such as Italy, Germany etc. However, the Czech legal system did not allow to impose this penalty until 2010. This form of penalty should facilitate the situation in Czech crowded prisons. It might be imposed on thousands of the sentenced a year and, at the same time, it would save money of the tax payers. The thesis deals with the legislative framework, where the home detention belongs and it is also focused on the fact how the other states, where home detention has been applied for years, have adopted this form of penalty. The objective of the Probation and Media Service of the Czech Republic is also mentioned in this work. The theoretical part of the thesis is divided into two parts {--} the first part deals with the punishment in general, the other one is focused on home detention in particular.
