LIDOVÁ, Štěpánka
This bachelor thesis deals with current problems in social work during parole. It aims to describe the current situation of parole in the Czech Republic. At the same time, the thesis pays attention to the naming and description of current issues, including finding relevant opinions and attitudes of workers operating within this specific activity. Research work aims at formulating certain optimization recommendations for further activity of Probation and Mediation Services in the Czech Republic. The theoretical part describes current trends in prison system as well as individual activities of probation workers within parole. The research part consists of qualitative research using the method of open-questioned structured interviews that are then being used to analyse interviews with the workers of Probation and Mediation Services in South Bohemia, Prague, and Hradec Králové. Via research, it was found out that the workers of Probation and Mediation services understand the following things to be problematic: great amount of administrative work, no respect for certain recommendations meant for the courthouse, and employing prisoners. Simultaneously, it was found out that those on conditional release do not perceive any relevant problem when cooperating with Probation and Mediation Services. Based on these results, solutions and recommendations have been designed for the purposes of probation officers´ work in the future, the application of which should make some work easier for the officers. Further, some solutions have been designed to problems in employing individuals on conditional release. These solutions include simplifying administration, greater respect towards probation officers from the courthouse´s side as well as greater awareness of potential employers of individuals on conditional release.
