1 Resumé The purpose of my thesis is to analyze the concept of economic crime in its whole size. The reason why I chose this topic is its international danger and high damage caused by this kind of crime. This subject is discussed in international organizations and is focused in its documents, because only international co-operation is able to fight with such crime. The thesis is composed of two parts (four chapters) - general and special. The first part (first and second chapter) is dealing with theoretical issues. The goal of this part is to introduce and define basic terminology found in the thesis like economic crime or financial crime. It is as well dealing with basic criminological characteristics of economic crime like the phenomenology, specifics of offenders, etiology or control mechanism and prevention of economic crime.

Barák, Michal ; Gřivna, Tomáš (advisor) ; Herczeg, Jiří (referee)
in English This thesis deals with the issue of counterfeiting, in terms of both criminal and criminological perspective. Its opening is devoted to the money, especially to their historical development. The following chapter, number three, continuously moves to the description of the most widely used security features of money, especially of banknotes. Although these security features are not the subject of my thesis, this part can look quite dominant. However, I am convinced that the technical protection of money plays the pivotal role it the whole issue, so I gave them enough space at the beginning of work. The following section deals with the valid legislation and focuses primarily on the enumeration and analysis of the actus reaus under the Criminal Code. In my opinion, the focus only on criminal legislation is inadequate, and therefore I consider it is necessary to mention also other legislation which is significantly related, ie Act No. 136/2011 Coll., on the circulation of banknotes and coins and amending Act No. 6/ 1993 Coll. on the Czech National Bank, as amended, which contains mainly the Czech National Bank's role in the issues mentioned above and responsibilities of defined group of persons handling the money suspected of counterfeiting. The procedure of the Police of the Czech Republic...

The personal character of economic crime offender
MIKLOŠOVÁ, Adriana
The personal character of economic crime offender Economic crime is one of serious and frequently latent offences. Taking into account the character of offenders, the exposition of this crime is difficult and time-consuming. The range of causes, on which economic crime is based, is wide. From the global viewpoint, what is important is the change of population mentality towards consumerism, the increase of unemployment, economic crisis and a grest number of other causes that affect this situation. These crimes with a grave social appeal are in many cases caused by a well-situated and university educated upper class citizens with a good grasp of the relevant economical and judicial matters, i.e. Citizens that are not be expected to behave in this anti-social way. The aim of my diploma thesis is to create an overview, to describe, clarify and formulate in a certain way the character of economic crime offender. Closely connected to this topic are the definitions of several conceptions from these points of issue. This diploma thesis is divided into a theoretical part (with a partial overview of the development of criminal law No. 140/1961 Coll.) focused on the field of criminal law. The practical part studies the assessment and evaluation of the questionnaire method and the creation of result based on these facts. The aim of this work is to provide the reader or any person interested in this topic with the basics of economic crime and with a list of related books for additional information. Resulting from aims of this work and from the study of professional literature and statistical data, the following hypothesis was established: {\clqq}Economic crime offender is a well-situated citizen`` and {\clqq}Higher level of education results in higher ingenuity of the offence and, consequently, in higher damage caused by the offence.`` A conclusion based on questionnaire evaluation was reached and the resulting facts claim that in most cases is economic crime connected with offender´s business or working activities. Although it was partially confirmed that these offenders are usually intelligent and they tend to have at least higher education, at the same time it seems evident that economic crime is not only a field for this kind of offender. A substantial part of thes offenders has acquired its education through formal economic qualification while doing business and, at the same time, it has become evident that great losses can be caused by offenders with a lower level of education.
