Špůrková, Adéla ; Říha, Jiří (advisor) ; Hořák, Jaromír (referee)
Criminological aspects of criminality of foreigners This diploma thesis deals with the criminality of foreigners in the Czech Republic. With the development of globalisation, easier and more accessible mobility of people, but also due to war conflicts or poverty, there is naturally an increased migration of people, which brings with it, among other things, security consequences. Being a foreigner in another country has its own specifics, the most significant of which include minority status, different lifestyles, values, opinions, behaviours and customs. These and many other differences may or may not be criminogenic factors leading to foreigners committing crime. Since this is a very comprehensive topic, which cannot be fully described in one thesis, the aim of the thesis is to analyse the current state of criminality of foreigners in the Czech Republic, to define specific crimes of foreigners, which are among the most frequently clarified and to answer the question whether the crime of foreigners in our territory is increasing or decreasing. Attention is also paid to the phenomenon of organised crime of foreigners and crime related to illegal migration. The diploma thesis is systematically divided into five chapters.

Criminological Aspects of Hate Crime
Vlček, Vítězslav ; Kopečný, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Galovcová, Ingrid (referee)
Criminological Aspects of Hate Crime Abstract Hate crime refers to a set of crimes committed for a prejudicial motive against a group of people for their essential personality characteristics such as nationality, religion, or sexual orientation. Topicality of the issue stems from the fact that related social phenomena such as racism, xenophobia, radicalisation, or discrimination of minorities are far from being satisfactorily dealt with even in Western society. The fundamental goal of this thesis is to provide the reader with a comprehensive criminological view of hate crimes in the territory of the Czech Republic. Main findings include the following: the concept of hate crime is not unified in theory nor legislation in terms of protected characteristics, which negatively translates into research and policy of hate crime. The quantity of registered crime is in the order of less than 200 crimes per year, its trend is downward, and its structure is predominantly non-violent; unfortunately, it is also accompanied by high latency. The Czech perpetrator is usually male and a repeat offender, in early adulthood, with a basic education and without a factual relationship to extremist groups. Victims of violent forms of hate crime are, in principle, suffering more intense harm (especially psychological) than victims...

A History of Criminal Law in the Czech Lands in 1848-1989
Jablonický, Tomáš ; Kuklík, Jan (referee)
1 Summary Dissertation builds an objective, transparent, systematic and yet concise interpretation of the history of criminal law in the Czech lands in 1848-1989. The aim of this work is, however, not only to chronologically present the most important criminal codes, but also to tell a parallel story of criminal law science and criminology, which to a bigger or lesser degree substantially influenced the development of criminal law and criminal legislation. Therefore, this work also includes biographical and bibliographical profiles of leading Czech educators, criminal law scientists and criminologists - the founders and pioneers of Czech and Czechoslovak criminal law science, whose lives have been closely linked with the complicated socio-political events of the given historical period. History of criminal law shows a strong interconnection of criminal law and policy, which consequently causes the criminal law without proper criminal law science and criminology to be the most politically affected branch of law. For this dissertation is symptomatic the search for critical causes and factors that lead to progress or, on the contrary, to the decline of criminal law. In such moments, the criminal law science and criminology emerge again, naturally and clearly, from a scientific analysis of historical events of...

Skutková, Nikola ; Gřivna, Tomáš (advisor) ; Bohuslav, Lukáš (referee)
Criminal a criminological aspects of the crime - murder Abstract This thesis deals with the crime of murder from the legal and criminological point of view, which implies a systematic work. The first part of the thesis, dealing with criminal law aspects, describes the previous legislation, but the emphasis is put on the current regulation, its division of the facts according to the circumstances of the offender's conduct. Other crimes directed against human life are briefly presented for completeness of the interpretation of crimes against life. In connection with this comparison, I have given more attention to the issue of euthanasia in the thesis, which is in many ways connected with the crime of murder in terms of current legislation and the development of insight into this issue is very interesting in the Czech Republic and other EU countries. The topic of the thesis is criminal and criminological aspects, so in the first part of the thesis I focused on individual aspects of the crime of murder in terms of its conceptual features, ie object, subject, objective side and subjective side and forms of crime in terms of developmental stages and criminal cooperation. Other circumstances that affect the assessment of the offender's conduct are related to the crime of murder, and the legal classification of the...

It means, that the thesis analyses the corruption as social problem focusing on the criminological aspects of it. The thesis is split into the introduction, four synoptic chapters and conclusion and each of these chapters are focused on different aspect of adjustment of corruption. The first chapter analysis the term "corruption". Since there is no worldwide or national definition of corruption, which includes every character of it or corruption behavior, it is necessary to write up the different definitions of corruption from the point of view of international organizations, Czech legislator, state organizations, nongovernmental organizations or the experts across different disciplines. The terms as clientelism, lobbying, nepotism and conflict of interest are closely related to the term corruption (or they are confused with the corruption), and because of that it is necessary to analyze these terms, too. The second chapter is focused on legal framework of corruption on international level where it is regulated by UN or Council of Europe or nongovernmental organization as Transparency International, and also on national level. The third...
