Measures administered against juveniles in criminal proceedings
JAROŠOVÁ, Erika
Act no. 218/2003 Coll. on liability of juveniles for illegal acts and on juvenile justice established new rules in criminal proceedings with juveniles and introduced brand new methods of sanctioning juvenile delinquents in criminal processes, specifically it introduced a number of new measures which can be administered as punishments for wrongdoings including the possibility of alternative solutions to committed wrongful acts. The degree work is divided into two parts. The theoretical portion provides information about potential solutions and approaches when measures are administered in criminal proceedings with juvenile offenders including the theoretical background. The empirical portion maps out the ratio of measures administered by prosecuting and adjudicating bodies in pre-trial proceedings and measures administered by juvenile courts; the degree work also summarizes all solutions to criminal matters related to juveniles; the quantitative research focused on the District Court in Strakonice during the period of 2004 and 2008. The objectives of the research correlated with hypotheses which the author based on her experience gained in her job as a juvenile social probation officer. The research showed that during the monitored period 64% of juvenile criminal issues were resolved directly by the juvenile court and only 36% of acts committed by juvenile delinquents were closed by prosecuting and adjudicating bodies during pre-trial proceedings. The second portion of the research proved that the most frequently utilized measures {--} 54% - were criminal sanctions; 44% of juvenile criminal cases were solved by means of alternative measures, while reformatory measures were administered only to 2% of juvenile delinquents and protective measures were not utilized at all. The degree work was intended to briefly demonstrate whether the purpose of the Act on juvenile justice is fulfilled. Its onclusions are intended for professional public and for all people who are interested in criminal law, criminal proceedings and juvenile delinquency.

BARTOŠOVÁ, Lucie
This diploma thesis is focused on analysis of children and adolescent crime rate in the Czech Republic; it partly describes criminality as a whole, its current situation and development. This thesis is aimed at survey of crime rate at primary schools in the region of Uherské Hradiště. It describes number of small thievery in the year 2006 in the region of Uherské Hradiště. This research was carried out by means of a questionnaire at the particular primary schools. There are described factors influencing criminality rate such as family, school, society, or media Literature, police statistics and school statistics show us basic information concerning criminality not only in the Czech Republic but in the region of Uherské Hradiště as well. It was found out that in the Czech Republic child criminality rate has diminishing tendency, but in the region of Uherské Hradiště this situation is not observable (it has nothing to do with number of thefts). By means of the questionnaire it was found out that thefts do not appear frequently at primary schools. Only sometimes schools deal with small offences in the form of not expensive things. These small offences do not occur nowadays more often than in the past and also it is not possible to say whether they are more frequent at town schools or schools in villages. Thefts concerning expensive products are minimal at primary schools. However, thefts committed by teenagers and adolescents have an increasing rate, in accordance with police in Uherské Hradiště. This thesis is aimed at a better orientation in the child, teenager, and adolescent criminality development in the Czech Republic and in the region of Uherské Hradiště in order to avoid small thefts or other offences among children.

MILNAŘÍKOVÁ, Jitka
This bachelor work deals with the specifities of criminal justice for children under fifteen in the Czech Republic, it defines basic terms, sketches the history of criminal justice for juveniles as a separated system in the USA and Europe (especially in CR) and also outlines some related legislation. It maps the process and circumstances of legal proceedings, the possibilities and sense of criminal sanctions for child delinquents. It documents the development of juvenile delinquency in CR between 2000 and 2008 and it presents evidence that the number of criminal acts commited by children under fifteen is decreasing. In the centre of attention there is also an issue of the formation of criminal liability and discussion about the decrease of its bottom line regarding all arguments of both proponents and opponents. The results of the research and public inquiry illustrate that Czech public is rather for its decreasing. The work also outlines the operation of some organisations, present and planned institutions for working with risky juveniles. It also compares the position of juvenile delinquents in some countries of Europe and North America.

Imprisonment of minor offenders
VÁVROVÁ, Kateřina
Youth criminality is a constant problem which a number of specialists, legislative bodies, and the whole public deal with. A number of negative phenomenons occurring in the area of this population, e.g. spreading of drugs among younger and younger age groups and related increase of criminality undoubtedly play a leading role. However, it is known that bare repression is ineffective and means of educational activities are much more effective. Occurrence of social pathological phenomenons, their dynamics and changes are an indivisible part of the society. Grounds enabling occurrence of these phenomenons change very little. Heritability, constitutional factors, family, school, peer pressure, inappropriate spending free time as well as media influence and ethnical origin have an impact. Responsibility of the youth for unlawful acts is laid down by the Act No. 218/2003 Coll., on the Liability of Youth for Unlawful Acts and on Justice in Matters of Youth and Amending Certain Acts (Act on Justice in Matters of Youth). The purpose of the Act is defined particularly from the view of prevention of unlawful activities of the youth that is a basic group to which the attention of the whole justice and society is to be paid, so that every member of this group who committed an illegal act, no matter he is a juvenile or a child younger than fifteen years, is treated in accordance with this Act, he contributes to rectifying the injury resulting from the unlawful act within his strengths and abilities, a convenient and appropriate measure is imposed on him, and he finds a social asserting corresponding to his abilities and intellectual and moral development as a definitive result. Preventive activities aimed against youth criminality always and in the whole scope require respecting basic children rights and rights for privacy of their family. Children rights must be observed from primary to tertiary prevention, from searching threatened children and their families to treatment of guilty children. The most significant tool of social prevention is education of children in families and education of children at school. The aim of the thesis was to find out grounds leading to custodial detention of a juvenile offender and to find indications which could help to positively or negatively affect educational impact on the juvenile in the prison.
