POLATOVÁ, Lenka
The diploma thesis deals with the topic of helping victims of crime with an emphasis on the psychological side and the goal is to analyse the options of that help. The first chapter deals with victimology and victimization, basic concepts that are important for understanding the issue. The next chapter emphasizes the concept of victim. It explains the typology of victims and also discusses victims' rights. The fourth chapter focuses on the issue of particularly vulnerable victims. What is also important is the section on entities that provide help to victims of crimes. I focus in more detail on the two most important entities, which are the Probation and Mediation Service of the Czech Republic and the non-profit organization White Circle of Safety which represents the non-state sector. The most important part of the thesis comes in the last but one chapter, and it focuses on specific assistance for victims of crimes. The chapter deals with the principles of laic, especially psychological and social assistance. Finally, I focus on crime prevention. The whole issue is complemented by interviews with experts who provide help to victims. The acquired knowledge shows how important the work of providers of care for crime victims is, and indicates how significant benefit it has for the users.

Jírová, Eliška ; Vorlová, Marie (advisor) ; Bartoň, Daniel (referee) ; Milfait, René (referee)

At the same time, the goal was to find out, whom did the victim approach for help and whether or not they trusted that the police could help. It was determined that the stalkers most often used intrusive contact and lingering close to the victim's home or workplace. The respondents agree on the impact on their mental state, which further affects their overall health. It can be concluded that stalking affected the work/study life of the respondents and their relationship. More than half of the respondents also observed financial and material consequences. The way they spent their free time was affected by the mental state of the respondent and by the direct intrusion of the stalker. All respondents approached their family or friends for help. The level of trust in the police can be viewed as above average. However, the outcome of the police help was not rated as fully satisfactory by none of the respondents that decided to contact the police. The results showing the trust and satisfaction with police can be very valuable in the terms of introspection regarding the handling of stalking victims. The knowledge regarding the impact of stalking is important in order to understand what is the victim going through. The text can serve as a source for students that may encounter stalking victims in their future career path.
