Toxicology of opioid analgesics and their impact on traffic accidents in the Moravian-Silesian Region
DOBIÁŠOVÁ, Marcela
The bachelor thesis is devoted to the issue of the use of opioid analgesics, their effect on traffic accidents and accidents caused under the influence. Opioid analgesics, which belong to the group of narcotic and psychotropic substances, are still a topical topic, as a large number of traffic accidents are caused by drivers who are under their influence. The theoretical part is devoted mainly to history, classification of opioid analgesics, distribution of narcotic and psychotropic substances, list of drugs containing narcotic and psychotropic substances in the Czech Republic, occurrence of side effects, addictions, route of administration, detection of addictive substances in the body, but also drug policy strategy in Moravian-Silesian Region, the Czech Republic and the European Union. The practical part is focused on the comparison of traffic accidents caused under the influence of opioid analgesics in the years 2014-2018 in the Moravian-Silesian Region. In the practical part, I processed the results based on the statistics of the Police of the Czech Republic. After evaluating the results, it was found that in the period 2014-2018, the number of traffic accidents under the influence of opioid analgesics increased in the Moravian-Silesian Region, but there was a decrease in traffic accidents caused under the influence of alcohol. At the same time, there was a reduction in the number of people who were slightly injured, severely injured and killed. The result also showed that the most accidents that were caused in the period under the influence of addictive substances were in the South Moravian Region.

The issue of synthetic drugs in Czech criminal law
Baloun, Ondřej ; Beranová, Andrea (advisor) ; Bohuslav, Lukáš (referee)
anglickém jazyce The inner functioning of human nervous system allows for changes in states of mind after a consumption of specific substances. It is well known that these changes have an impact on the health of a consumer, be it acute or chronic. The undesirable effects are multiplied, if the consumption grows in scale to a society-wide issue and is not properly addressed. Any health damage is followed by social effects that endanger the cohesion of a society. States reacted to this development by a wave of drug regulation, be it their consumption or distribution, through international and domestic legal instruments. This approach is at present time unable to tackle the problem of so called "synthetic drugs". Synthetic drugs are unregulated chemical analogs of illegal drugs. They offer to users' effects very similar to conventional drugs, only without legal barriers and at a fraction of a price. The dangers of synthetic drugs are twofold. Not only are they more accessible to users, but they are also exponentially more dangerous and unpredictable. Dozens of new substances appear in the European market without their effects on human body being studied previously. Czech Republic has tools with which it regulates new synthetic drugs. This process is however often at odds with constitutionally guaranteed...

1 Abstract Crime relating to the abuse of addictive substances This thesis deals with the issue of substance abuse and criminality associated with this pathological phenomenon. Addiction and substance abuse can be considered a significant criminogenic factor, which is a common cause of traffic accidents, domestic violence, reduced self-control, increased aggression and other crime-related behaviors. Criminality related to the production, distribution and use of addictive substances covers a wide range of offenses, from trivial offenses bordering on offenses to the diverse activities of international organized crime, which can be consider a global issue. Subject matter of this thesis is to link this stated issue with fundamental knowledge about narcotic and psychotropic substances and its effects on individuals, along with their potential influence on the delinquent behavior of drug users, while providing a theoretical definition of crimes related to substance abuse and an effort to quantify this phenomenon. This thesis is devided into four parts. The introductory chapter focuses on interpreting concepts related to substance abuse, which is necessary for a comprehensive understanding of the stated issue. As a follow up to this, the second chapter deals with narcotic and psychotropic substances' fundamental...

Experience of secondary school students and vocational school students in the territory of the town Pilsen with narcotics and psychotropic drugs
KVÍDEROVÁ, Lenka
I selected the topic "Experience of secondary school students and vocational school students in the territory of the town Pilsen with narcotics and psychotropic drugs" for my diploma thesis. Substances that change consciousness have been known throughout the history of mankind. Newer substances, helping individuals to improve their physical and psychical abilities, keep appearing. This reason resulted in an increased demand for such "miraculous" substances in the past years. Life conditions have significantly changed lately, life has become hurried and confusing; striving for money, power, success or admiration prevails. That is why people are forced to pretend that they can cope with stressful situations, when they have to mask any failure or insecurities by never ending search for new resources and possibilities that could help them to stand such situations. The Diploma thesis gives an overview of the well-known substances that are being abused nowadays and the classification of these addictive substances, the work also deals with health and social consequences of drug abuse and, finally yet importantly, provides information about the danger of drug abuse, causes of its development and possibilities of prevention of this problem not only at schools, but also in private lives of adolescents, who are the most susceptible group in today's world. This work also includes statistic surveys that were conducted by distinguished organisations within the territory of the Czech Republic and that were subsequently compared with my own questionnaire survey. In order to find out what experience do students have with narcotics and psychotropic substances, a questionnaire was compiled and distributed for completion among students of selected secondary schools and vocational schools in the territory of the town Pilsen. Although the results of the empiric part of the Diploma thesis proved that the students had experience with narcotics and psychotropic substances, most of the cases related just to experimenting with these addictive substances and only a small percentage of students abused drugs from a long-term perspective.

The Specifics of the Negotation of the Czech Republic´s Police with People under the Influence of Narcotic and Psychotropic Substances
KOPECKÁ, Kristýna
This thesis deals with the negotiation of police officers from Riot Police Services with people under the influence of narcotic and psychotropic substances. These individuals often become perpetrators of offenses and narcotic and psychotropic substances also have an impact of this fact, because they cause changes in human personality. The work has two main parts - a theoretical part and a practical part. The theoretical section contains information about narcotic and psychotropic substances, their use in the Czech Republic, as well as Czech drug policy and prevention. A crime committed by people under the influence of narcotic and psychotropic substances is also described as well as the personality of the offending drug addict. The last chapter of this section includes information about police and police procedure when dealing with a person under the influence of narcotic and psychotropic substances as well as the peculiarities of questioning people under the influence of narcotic and psychotropic substances. The practical part consists of quantitative research carried out by the group of 51 police officers who work in the South Bohemian region in the Riot Police Services. The research covers issues related to the conduct of police officers towards people under the influence of narcotic and psychotropic substances. The method of interrogation and questioning techniques were used for the collection of data. The main objectives of the study were to determine the facts, whether or not and how often respondents work with people under the influence of narcotic and psychotropic substances, whether or not the negotiations with these people are specific and how specific are they. Another objective was to determine the extent of respondents' knowledge of drug problems. The obtained results and the possibility of their use in practice are outlined and presented at the conclusion of the study.

Serious crime impaired
HLUŠKO, Oldřich
The aim of my bachelor work is to map the problems of crime related to the distribution and the use of drugs over the last eleven years. The problems of drug related crime involve many contradictory attitudes, opinions and conflicts in the field of academy, politics and medicine as well as the public opinion of citizens. That is why the aim is not to map this complicated phenomenon in a comprehensive way, but to use the form of a brief survey of chosen crimes that I consider to be serious offences under the influence of drugs and in connection with their use. My bachelor work should be in service of students alone or other readers as the source of data related to these wide-ranging problems. In my bachelor work I would like to map the relation between the distribution of drugs and the subsequent crimes, committed under their influence. An ordinary citizen has a relatively slight chance to get acquainted with the up-to-date drug statistics. He or she stays depended on the occasional and rather exceptional news in daily newspapers and magazines. The occurrence of drug related problems cannot be eliminated by education, within the widest meaning of the word, or prevention, or the most sophisticated legislative acts. However, precautions performed in a large number of social groups (family, school, sport and cultural offer, media, health institutions{\dots}) can reduce the number of users as well as the risks associated with the use. That is why I concentrated on the mapping of serious crime in connection with the use of narcotic and psychotropic substances. The work can serve as a survey for students as well as for lecturers teaching at universities so they could study the problems of drug related crime and subsequently design effective precautions either in the form of preventively training actions, or as a valuable piece of knowledge used in practice by the students of Faculty of Health and Social Studies, University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice. This work can also provide valuable material for evaluation of the present development of given area as well as the prediction of the future development. Quantitative research was selected as a method of work. Secondary data analysis served as a source of information, which was provided by CR Police-District Headquarters in Český Krumlov, the division of statistics, the Institute of Criminology and Social Prevention of the Czech Republic and the Ministry of Justice of the Czech Republic. On the basis of findings presented in my bachelor work it is possible to expect another growth of drug related crime in the future. It could be said that the drug related crime will considerably influence the development of general crime, not only in terms of quality but also in terms of quantity.
